My house is a Seltzer water house. Besides tea, it’s all we drink. We stock up so we’re never out because a dinner without seltzer water sure is sad! With that said, I wanted to do a baking experiment with seltzer water because I knew it had the properties to make things extra fluffy. And long and behold, I baked some of the best fudgy chocolate brownies I ever made with the help of seltzer!
Fluffy Chocolate Brownies
A few things about this recipe before we dive in. These brownies are extra fluffy. They’re extra fudgy. They are a chocoholics dream. Besides cocoa powder, I added in chocolate chips to make them double chocolate. There’s no butter or milk in this recipe. For liquid we’re using seltzer water and vegetable oil. The brownies are fudgy and crumbly when they come out of the oven. They’re a dream. So let’s get started!
Seltzer Water Brownie Recipe
Gather all your ingredients. You’ll definitely need seltzer water as that’s the star here. I used Vintage Seltzer in flavor “pineapple” because I felt like I wanted to add slight tropical flavor to the brownies. You can use flavored or you can use plain. I recommend using seltzer water instead of regular water for all your baking projects (think cookies or pancakes) because the final result will be fluffier. For this recipe we’ll be using 1/2 cup seltzer water. Mix your dry cocoa powder and baking soda together and then add your seltzer water. Now watch it start to bubble! Now add the rest of your ingredients. Look at how dark brown the batter gets…. gorgeous! Into the oven it goes for 50 minutes. Before and After. Look at how fluffy these brownies are! Let them cool for a little bit and then cut into squares. You can eat them plain or you can add a frosting to make them extra special. But trust me, they won’t stick around your house for long! Enjoy everyone! Pin these Seltzer Water Chocolate Brownies for later:
