I love this brownie recipe and have made them several times.  I don't change anything in the recipe and find them come out cake-like and not dry.  I like how these are not very sweet, but have enough sweetness to fix a craving.  I follow Paleo and these fit the bill as sugar is not usually part of my diet.  If you are looking for a traditional brownie, go elsewhere. <br />
