    These are wonderful! They are moist, yummy & more nutritious than the average brownie! They will be a regular at our house. Not only that, I am going to bring some to Christmas dinner! Thank you so much for sharing.
    Be sure to use LIGHT olive oil & whole wheat pastry flour!

    I couldn't wait so I tasted the batter off the spoon. The olive oil was very strong and I was skeptical. Once they were baked I had 1 piece, then another, then another x 3. Oops! So much for portion control! They were great! - 6/22/09

    I liked these, but my mom and most of the rest of my family didn't care for them. They aren't exactly brownies so much as a cake. - 7/24/10

    These were really good. I used dark chocolate cocoa powder & added about 2-3 tablespoons more than the 1/4 cup in the recipe so they would be more chocolately. Also added 1/2 cup of vegan semisweet chocolate chips to the dry mixture before mixing the liquid into & it was a really nice touch. - 7/19/09
