  1. Love your recipes. The amount of cocoa powder seems to be missing from this one. Can you edit for corrections please? I'd love to try it out!

  3. In the directions it says to stir in flour, cocoa powder and baking powder, but the baking powder is not in the ingredients list? Could you edit the ingredients list? I can't wait to make this!

    the texture for this was just right!! who would've thought that a skinny brownie recipe turned out to be the "perfect" brownie!!

  13. These look SO delicious! Could I use a different type of sugar other than powdered? All I have at the moment is turbadino..

  14. Not bad. I made these for bible study and the kiddos loved them. The adults didn't devour them quite as fast. More of a cake than a brownie, but all in all a decent substitution. I think next time I'll try the black bean brownies and see if their texture is a little closer to what I'm looking for.

  15. I love the brownies!!! I wouldn't change a thing. I made them for dessert tonight for family night - I'm sure they will be a hit. We are making brownie sundaes with them. Those who aren't watching their figures will have ice cream - the rest we will top with just cool whip, chocolate sprinkles and a marachino cherry. Love that you have the WW points listed. Keep up the great work - your site is amazing!!!

  16. I just made these brownies. I realized I didn't have the appropriate pan size, so I had to triple the recipe to get it in the pan. I tasted the batter and it was good. I'd eat that batter any time of the day..

    Then they came out. Totally not sweet at all. And I can see why you put the powdered sugar on top. It needs it.

    That being said, it wasn't horrible. Just very light on sugar and I didn't think it'd be that way, since the batter was good.

  17. Love your recipes. I am wondering can I double this? How can I make 16 servings?

    Thanks!

  19. Just made these! We doubled the recipe and then used 2/3 cups whole wheat pasty flour, 1/3 cup all purpose, and added an egg to the liquids. Baked them in mini loaf pans for 15 minutes... SO DELICIOUS!

  20. I just made these! I am in love! I made them into small cupcakes because I didn't have the size pan for this, but they still came out great! I think I did something wrong when it came to the flour because I think I can taste it a little bit, so I think I went over a cup just a little bit but I am still very happy! My son loves them too! I kind of can't stop eating them!
