Brownies must rise to be moist and fluffy.

Brownies are cake-like creations with fudge that can be gooey and soft or cooked firmly. A wide array of leavening ingredients will make these desserts rise in the oven. Knowing how to use such ingredients is necessary to present a delicious fudge brownie. This is easier to achieve with a pre-mixed brownie recipe.

Step 2

Stir in the oil and water. Whisk the mixture for a minute until it is thick and creamy.

Step 3

Substitute an equal amount of leavening ingredient for two large eggs. For instance, 1 cup of applesauce equals two eggs; 1/4 cup of lemon juice mixed with 1 tablespoon of baking powder also creates a leavening action that mimics eggs.
