This recipe was absolutely AMAZING. As other reviewers suggested, I nixed the oil completely. I also only used 1 cup of brown sugar and no salt ("healthy" brownies) and I used almond milk instead of soy. HEAVENLY. I only recently started cooking vegan, so I know what normal brownies taste like. These are comparable if not better! And less guilty! They're perfectly flavored, extremely moist but not too heavy, and delightfully fudgey. I could rave on! Mine are only 245 calories a brownie. I will definitely be making these again!!!!
I wasn't necessarily lookin for a vegan recipe, but was very interested in trying it with avocado. I read the reviews and omitted the oil all together. I made a few changes only for personal preference. Since I wasn't necessarily looking for a vegan recipe I used unbleached white flour instead of the whole wheat. I used dark brown sugar and cut it in half, instead of white sugar and I used butterscotch chips instead of chocolate. Im not sure how these changes affected this being vegan, but they were so delicious that everyone ate all my brownies. I am looking forward to experimenting with different flavors.
