Sarah,
ReplyDeleteI'm going to try this recipe tonight! I stopped making brownies because my 4-yr-old can't have eggs and mixes don't work well with egg substitutes... but I've never tried brownies from scratch before. I love your blog, by the way. I often find myself wishing we were neighbors... not only so I could be your official taste tester, but so we could chat. You've always been one of my favorite people. I love reading and relating to your adventures as a mom.
Thanks Jennifer! We would be great neighbors, and would have so much fun. I think of you often, and know we would have a great time! I am not sure how the egg substitute would turn out, but I think they would be fine. Let me know how it turns out

ReplyDeleteSeriously the best brownies I've ever had. I use ground flax for an egg substitute and it worked beautifully. The only problem was that I ate them all day long!
