Blood can also be used as a substitute in baking. Pretty sure it’s in lieu of eggs. Not curious enough to ruin a perfectly good batch of brownies though :(
That was a “fine enough” substitute before commercial egg replacers got as good and commonplace as they are now. I’ll still do it for some recipes as I like the added apple flavor and moisture, but I generally use Ener-G Egg Replacer for replacing eggs in a dough mix and maple syrup for egg washes when vegan baking these days.
I’ve heard about replacing eggs with applesauce to turn a baking recipe vegan. But the oil?
Also, if you don’t want an unholy amalgamation of way too much fat and sugar, why even go for brownies?

I love that your concern is the integrity of the brownies, not the sourcing of the blood.
I’m literally carrying around like a gallon of the stuff, sourcing it isn’t a problem.
…like in a gallon jug?
No! You think I’m made of money? The blood will stain and I’m not gonna get another gallon jug every month. I just use a big glass jar. Weirdo.
Good brownies are hard to come by; unsuspecting neighbors however, are not.
Priorities, man.
I have a lovely book on recipes with blood, I’ll give ya give ya the name once I find it
Edit, lol took just a second, blood by Jennifer McLagan
I’ll have to get that for when my Klingon friends come over.

Holy shit that sounds awesome. And not just as a replacement for egg wash, a maple syrup wash sounds incredible just on it’s own merits
