SO HOW'D IT GO?

I made these brownies last night and they were absolutely fab-u-lus!!! These even passed a non-vegan friend!!  I imagine making many batches of these in the futute...the addition of the topping makes these the best, plus the applesauce adds moistness and texture...yummy!!!!

um, yeah, i made these four days ago, and my family is asking for another batch. these were amazing. amazing. best warm, right out of the oven, and with some soy vanilla ice cream--oh my sweet baby jesus--this is reason enough to turn vegan. i added some chocolate chips to the actual brownie part, 'cause i can't seem to get enough of the chocolate stuff. but make these. you won't regret it.

Delicious! I made this on a whim, I didn't really know what it was going to be like, and I was amazed at how the fudge came out on the bottom! It is so good! And I'm happy that it doesn't have any oil or butter replacement. I was also suprised because I don't normally like brown sugar in brownies, but this is great! Thanks for an awesome recipe!

These are delicious!  They really do taste like brownies with pudding but there's nothing wrong with that!  I used carob powder instead of cocoa and texture wise they came out very good and looked just like real cocoa brownies.  But... they tasted like carob, not chocolate.  I also used almond milk, which went unnoticed. Overall, these are really good and definitely one to add to the recipe box!

Okay, I know I just reviewed this, but I had to do it again because I just made this recipe for the 2nd time 3 DAYS after the first! If that isn't a positive review, I don't know what is! I played with it a bit, and this time I added a handful of walnuts and chocolate chips to the top before baking, and I only added 1 tsp. of baking powder (for a denser, more brownie-like consistency, instead of cakey). My boyfriend requested it, and it only takes a few minutes to whip up. I only bake it for 30 minutes, because we like the ooey gooey consistency (MUST eat with a spoon!). We both love this recipe. Try it!

These are pretty chocolately and yummy. I used whole wheat flour and added some chocolate chips to the top before baking (because they wasn't enough chocolate already???). The gooey fudgey layer on the bottom is yummy, but I agree that with some vanilla "ice cream" it could be extraordinary. I used to make a similar recipe to this before I was vegan, and it's never really rocked my socks off as my favorite recipe, but it's certainly a nice chocolate dessert, especially nice on a cold winter night. It would be good with nuts on top, too. My boyfriend likes chocolate cake a lot more than I do, and he really likes this dessert.

I made this today with my 2 year old daughter and it was great fun - I probably ended up with a bit less of the 'cake' part and she was a little bit heart broken to see it get put into the dish but we loved mixing up the sauce which even she commented smelt delicious!
I cooked this expecting a chocolate fudge cake with sauce and wasn't let down.  I live in the UK so never really had brownies so can't comment on that but this was just delicious, I served it warm with ice'cream' and it was loved by all.
I'm putting it straight into my cook book and it's exactly what I'm looking for as a rich pudding where 'vegan' wouldn't enter people's mind as they're too busy wondering if there are any left overs!!
The only thing I might change is to add less brown sugar to the sauce and add raw caster sugar instead.  This isn't a fault of the recipe at all, I've just never been keen on that chocolate fudge sauce taste and am more of a chocolate sauce girl.
Thank you for sticking this up tho - I give it 5*'s!

The separate sauce layer on top is the most awesome idea ever! I put mine on top of the brownie in the last 2 mins of baking. Simply Brilliant!

This recipe worked out great! I only had to bake them for around 25 minutes. I love how the fudgey sauce goes to the bottom and gets all gooey like a lava cake...right when they got out of the oven me mum stole one! She loved it!!

This is an absolute favourite in my household.
I share it with everyone and they find it extraordinary that this recipe doesn't contain eggs or dairy.
Thankee.
