I've heard about replacing eggs with applesauce to turn a baking recipe vegan. But the oil?
Also, if you don't want an unholy amalgamation of way too much fat and sugar, why even go for brownies?
Blood can also be used as a substitute in baking. Pretty sure it's in lieu of eggs. Not curious enough to ruin a perfectly good batch of brownies though :(
I love that your concern is the integrity of the brownies, not the sourcing of the blood.
I'm literally carrying around like a gallon of the stuff, sourcing it isn't a problem.
...like in a gallon jug?
No! You think I'm made of money? The blood will stain and I'm not gonna get another gallon jug every month. I just use a big glass jar. Weirdo.
Good brownies are hard to come by; unsuspecting neighbors however, are not.
Priorities, man.
I have a lovely book on recipes with blood, I'll give ya give ya the name once I find it
Edit, lol took just a second, blood by Jennifer McLagan
I'll have to get that for when my Klingon friends come over.
That was a "fine enough" substitute before commercial egg replacers got as good and commonplace as they are now. I'll still do it for some recipes as I like the added apple flavor and moisture, but I generally use Ener-G Egg Replacer for replacing eggs in a dough mix and maple syrup for egg washes when vegan baking these days.
Holy shit that sounds awesome. And not just as a replacement for egg wash, a maple syrup wash sounds incredible just on it's own merits
