We're not sure why Duncan Hines Changed the Brownie Recipe But here's the fix to get your box brownies back to the way you always loved them! Whether you are vegan or not you will be thrilled to know your favorite box brownies is not lost forever! Whatever Duncan Hines is doing with their formula, I figured out how to get it back for you with this easy ingredients tweak listed below! The recipe starts at 3:35 in the video! Recipe: 1 Box Duncan Hines Dark Fudge or Chewy Brownies 18.2oz Box All Purpose Flour ½ cup For more cake like brownies use ¾ cup Baking Powder ¼ teaspoon Dry blend egg replacer 2 teaspoons Cocoa Powder 2 Tablespoons Vegetable Oil (not coconut oil) 1/3 cup (77ml) Water or Coffee ½ cup (118ml) For more success be sure to check out the full recipe here www.gretchensveganbakery.com/duncan-hines-changed-the-brownie-recipe/ Watch the original Box Brownie Hack here ruclips.net/video/rW8mung1ZSY/видео.html
Omg that explains why the last box of duncan hines brownies I made basically ended up with a lake of oil on top and the brownie part was like a crunchy rock. I'm definitely bookmarking this for next time!!
So I added a half cup of aqua faba to replace the egg. And used vegan butter not oil and it came out pretty good but when I used oil, it was so oily and gross and hard as a rock but the an AF worked great. Not sure why but it did. I just whipped it up and folded it in. I was testing it out. I’m going to try your version which I’m sure will turn out much better. If I use 2 boxes I just double your recipe right?
Thank you so much for this! I was wondering what was happening with the lighter color and dryer! 😢I’m so happy to find your page!🫶🏻 Betty Crocker just changed their vanilla cake recipe and removed the dry milk so they are now naturally vegan! Yay! But it’s one entire ounce less per box. I have both boxes on hand
Great thank you! & thanks for the heads up about BC! Did you know about my Cake Box fix? Recipe here www.gretchensveganbakery.com/how-to-replace-the-eggs-in-a-box-cake-mix/
So I love this product...it IS the Duncan Hines Dark Chocolate Fudge Brownie Mix right? The box I've got right here in front of me calls for 1 egg, 1/3 cup of water (I replace with with whole milk, per the ingredient swap recommendation on the side of the box), and 1/2 cup vegetable oil baked at 350 for 25 minutes. They come out incredible every time.
HOLY FRICKIN’ S-BALLS!!! My daughter & I JUST used your million dollar recipe(with no egg or egg replacement)!They’re be-tons fantastic! Thank you so, so much🎉🎉💕
Protein powder in baking has a very drying and tightening affect. For it to be of any significance in your macros, you’d have to add a lot, and that would destroy the recipe However, I do have a protein muffin recipe you may be interested in it’s called my hulk smash power muffin 😆 www.gretchensveganbakery.com/hulk-smash-power-cupcakes/
So its not just me, thank goodness, I thought i was losing my mind! I made brownies the other night and as i read 2/3 c of vegetable oil i thought, "Wait a minute, that's tooo much oil!"
Yep. I have a couple of boxes of Pillsbury and Betty Crocker and they're all dry and crumbly like a bad cake. I've tried every hack to fix them like subbing butter and doubling the eggs and they're still dry and crumbly.
I heard that when box cakes first came out they didn't tell you to add a lot of stuff, but people didn't feel invested, so they added other ingredients so people would feel like they were baking. You might have been the one who said that. idk.
I think people are going to love your brownie box fix now more than ever. What is Duncan thinking unsatisfying so many customers. Also the box mix, or from scratch kerfuffle is just about choices. Choices are good to have. Everybody wins. But especially important is how you've proven once again that eggs aren't necessary in creating delicious brownies. And the physically painful way factory farmed chickens are treated should pause us all and make us question whether we want to participate in unnecessary daily animal pain. Delicious brownies using a box mix (Duncan Hines doesn't add eggs to their mixes like many other name brands), or a plant based scratch mix like Gretchen's, are the goal you are helping us achieve constantly.
I watched a video the other day of a woman using aquafaba to make mayo and she liked it so much she said she's going to replace the eggs in her homemade mayo from now on. Every egg not consumed counts.

Yep. I have no idea why they changed it 🤷🏻♀️
The intro had me chortlin'! What followed was an expert's explanation and demo, so will share! Thanks for posting : )
Thank you 😊
You’re a genius and deserve a million dollars for every single one of your recipes😍
I approve this message! 😆
hi, what if i don’t have dry blend egg replacer? can i add a one egg?
You could leave out the egg replacer all together. It still works perfectly fine as long as you add in the other adjustments that I list in my recipe.
I was searching for this comment 🎉
Gretchen, your brownies are perfect, no fixing required.
THANKS BYRON! :)
as they say in the south, fixing to eat these.
😆

Yes correct! It will be great!
I love you Gretchen. You truly care and just want everyone to have good cake. Your the best xxx
LOL Thank you! It's true! I should change my bio on my Instagram to:: "I just want everyone to have good cake!" :D
Your videos are always so helpful👍🏼 And you are right who needs eggs on their dessert anyway🙄
Gretchen, you are the best😂 Love the OG comment🤣

Hi Gretchen! Can this be done with the Duncan Hines Keto/Gluten Free brownie mix + Bobs Red Mill Gluten Free APF? Thanks!
Hey there, im not sure it will work the same way! But worth a try!
So I love this product...it IS the Duncan Hines Dark Chocolate Fudge Brownie Mix right? The box I've got right here in front of me calls for 1 egg, 1/3 cup of water (I replace with with whole milk, per the ingredient swap recommendation on the side of the box), and 1/2 cup vegetable oil baked at 350 for 25 minutes.
They come out incredible every time.
Yes I have tried both varieties
HOLY FRICKIN’ S-BALLS!!!
My daughter & I JUST used your million dollar recipe(with no egg or egg replacement)!They’re be-tons fantastic! Thank you so, so much🎉🎉💕
Excellent!
what if you wanted to add protien powder???
Protein powder in baking has a very drying and tightening affect.
For it to be of any significance in your macros, you’d have to add a lot, and that would destroy the recipe
However, I do have a protein muffin recipe you may be interested in it’s called my hulk smash power muffin 😆

I have to say great job did what you said and they came out great 👍
I think they've changed their cake mixes too.
Oh wow really!?? Yikes., I may have to revisit my BOX CAKE HACK ~ thnkx! www.gretchensveganbakery.com/how-to-replace-the-eggs-in-a-box-cake-mix/
Thank you I made the Brownies it was an epic fail😮
betty crocker and pillsbury also screwed up their brownie mixes
😲 really? I wonder why they’re all doing it? 🤔
Yep. I have a couple of boxes of Pillsbury and Betty Crocker and they're all dry and crumbly like a bad cake. I've tried every hack to fix them like subbing butter and doubling the eggs and they're still dry and crumbly.

Well said & thank you
the vegan ghirardelli mix is better anyway 👀

Are you still body-building? I remember when you were in PT & building muscle. 💪🏼
Well… im definitely building some body, just not sure any muscles are involved 😆🤣

They probably contain bioengineered ingredients now that's why read the ingredients!
Unnecessary fearmongering
