Dairy Free Brownies

Jenny Sanders's Note:

I used to make a richer brownie, but I haven't made them since I developed these. I like them because they don't try too hard to be healthy, but are not too sickly-rich either. Just right, in fact! Note: Recently, I have been cutting back on the sugar. I am now usually using about 1 2/3 cups. I usually use at least part Sucanat (an unrefined organic sugar) as well.

these were very good, and we all felt healthy after devouring them. i did have to add 18 minutes to the cooking time as the middle didn't cook as quickly as the outside. this is the kind of brownie i allow my kids to eat for breakfast.

These are easy to make and my hubby loves them. He's on a strict low fat diet but is not willing to give up his sweets. Thanks for the help...I love this site.

I had high hopes for this recipe but was rather disappointed. I had to add 10 minutes to the bake time and they still came out underdone. I would decrease the sugar by a third to half a cup next time, and add another egg or decrease the oil to 1/3 c.
