I pinned this to my pinterest account so I don’t lose it! I can’t wait to try these!!! I currently have a brownie recipe that uses Crisco (I know blasphemy, right?) and because of that I don’t make them that often. This recipe I could totally do every week! Thanks!!!

I always use brown sugar in her recipes, and haven’t had a problem!

Hi Laura,
I made these and trippled the batch. They were a little oily on the bottom even though I used butter. Do you think I can cut back on the butter, without sacrificing the crumbly top (which I love and haven’t been able to achieve in a long while)? I always thought I had to melt choc. chips/baking choc/ choc. bar to get the crumbly top. You showed me I COULD get one using cocoa powder. So please help me keep that top I love, without the oily bottom. Thanks in advance.

I made these today, and while the flavor was great, they were a little grainy. Seems like probably the sugar? Should I let the sugar melt in the warm butter for a little bit? Thanks!

If I don’t have sucanat (it’s pretty expensive around here) would brown sugar be the proper substitute?

These were pretty good! I only had peanut butter chips, but it was a great addition! They are very rich! Mine stuck to my stoneware pan though :( I guess I didn’t butter it enough. Still a great recipe though!

I just made these with oatmeal flour (oatmeal blended in my Vita-mix blender) for a friend that doesn’t do well with too much wheat. They look and smell great just like they do with wheat flour. Haven’t tried them yet, though!

It should work out just fine. :)

Do you think coconut oil would work for the butter? I am about out of butter and wishing for brownies!

Yeah, “pour” is probably not the right word to use to describe this step, although I’m not sure I’ve ever had to mash mine into the pan. Maybe add an extra egg next time? Hope they turned out well!
