Can mayonnaise be used as an egg substitute in a brownie recipe?

Answer 1

Yes You Can!! There is no difference in the taste at all and you use the same amount of mayo per oil. Yummy.

Answer 2

well it depends what it says in the ingredients. If it does say to use it, I recommend Hellman's but if it says not to use it, don't use it. but it is really your choice! Have fun making your chocolate brownies!

Answer 3

Mayonaise consists almost entirely of water and vegetable oil, with a very small amount of egg and flavorings whipped in, so I imagine you could use it in place of some other liquids in the recipe. Try it and see.

Answer 4

Everything I have read suggests a one to one ratio of replacement, 1/2 cup of mayonnaise for 1/2 cup oil, for example. If you are out of oil and need an easy substitute, it sounds like a good one.

But anyone considering substituting for other reasons, such as health and calories, needs to be careful about the mayo substitution. Mayo is made with oil and eggs, and you should check the label to see what kind of oil was used to make it. I personally have used apple sauce in baking as a substitute for oil, when I made muffins, and they came out great.

Answer 5

The more important question is, why would you use mayo for brownies? That being said, I suspect you could. Of course, you may not get the taste that you desire.

Answer 6

Yes, mayonnaise can be used as an emergency substitution.

Answer 7

yes it can if you wish :)
