It's also perfect if you just wanna eat the batter rather than baking brownies. Then you don't even have to find an egg substitute, just maybe use a bit more water or oil.
The soda thing sucks imo. It tastes worse, It makes the cake insanely sticky and its impossible to get it out of the pan and it has no structure (or oil). The cake mix already has plenty of sugar and adding a whole soda can more of sugar is nuts. Replacing oil+protein with sugar water doesn't make any sense.
I use the normal amount of oil+water and Bob's Red Mill egg replacer powder, and sometimes use applesauce in place of the water and the cake comes out much better and it doesn't crumble apart in a light breeze like the soda method.
It definitely didn't originate as a Tik Tok thing cause I first saw a recipe and tried it many years ago, pre-Tik Tok. It could've made a resurgence that way though.
Should you replace the eggs with anything? I’ve heard applesauce can work well
Yes or pumpkin or flax egg there’s countless options
I've always used 1/4 cups of applesauce per egg, and it works great
Thank you!!

Can you put this in the oven with the can of soda like you can for a cake mix? Will that destroy the brownie-Ness?

Yes most people use coke or Dr Pepper with brownies
Wtf? I've never heard of this. Is this a tiktok thing?
