Great recipe. But, it should be clarified that white sugar is NOT vegan. White sugar is refined with animal bone char. So, for the recipe to be called vegan, it should call for unrefined sugar.

Perfect for that time of month when you NEED brownies but don't have any brownie mix. I had everything I needed in my pantry. I used 2% instead of soy as that is all I had. As suggested, I left out the stevia and it was sweet enough for me. Some people might find it a little bitter, but I love dark bittersweet chocolate. All in all, very good recipe when you need to make brownies in a flash.

Delicious...and I even added peanut butter! Will definitely keep handy. Substituted Splenda for stevia powder and sugar and it turned out great! Less guilt, and curbs the craving!

What type of stevia powder do you use? It must be 90% fillers. With Trader Joe's stevia powder, 1/8 teaspoon sweetens a gallon of sun tea and I've never used more than 1/4 teaspoon in any baked item I've made.

I'm sorry to say, but your recipe was VERY misleading. I did what you suggested, omitted the sugar and doubled the stevia. It was WAAAAAYY to sweet! different stevias are different concentrates. It probably would've been good if I used half the (concentrate) stevia, no sugar, and about 1/2 C. honey, then maybe sprinkle the top with powdered sugar. I hope this helps. (please do not double the stevia - BAD IDEA)

Pretty good! I altered the recipe just slightly to my tastes, but this came out pretty yum for sure! Great basic recipe with a lot of potential for tweaking! =)

Umm this was not liked by our family at all. We were all very disappointed! It is a good try though. If I ever make it again I will need to play with it.

Best vegan brownies I've tried. I used 1/3 cup oil and 1/3 cup of apple sauce as suggested by other reviewers. I added almond and peanuts since I really love chocolate with nuts. It turned very good. Would definitely make it again.

OMG...Better, no, no, no Best Brownies. I almost chomped my fingers off when I finished mixing the batter, lol. I did not have stevia so I just completely skipped it, & as someone mentioned, it was perfectly sweet. I also used only 1/3 cup veg oil and used unsweetened apple sauce for the other 1/3 cup. I used 1/2 cup Vanilla soy milk and 1/3 soy creamer (ran out of soy milk) and out of habit I threw in 1/2 tsp salt and 1 tsp instant coffee. My entire fam LOVED it. By far, the best brownies, we have made! Thanks for sharing.
