This is THE keeper brownies recipe for me. Changes I did: margarine instead of butter, 2 eggs instead of 3, 1 cup of sugar instead of 1.5 cups, used a combo of 1/4cup whole wheat flour + 1/2 cup all purpose flour. With my changes, I thought the brownies were perfectly chocolaty and not too sweet, and even with the baking powder, mine didn't rise that much anyway. Baked for 35mins and were perfectly done. I think next time I'll try using all whole wheat flour to make it even healthier.

4.5 stars. I followed some of the reviewers and made some adjustments: 1/2 c butter, 1 c sugar, 2 eggs, 3/4 cup cocoa powder, no baking powder. Well, I dunno if it was b/c I cut out a significant part of the liquid, but there just seemed like too much dry ingredients in the end. I moistened it with a minimal amount of milk, but then there was not enough batter to fill the 8x8 pan. So I made these in cupcake tins, and it worked out fine. I did over-cook a little...they firm up very quickly in the end when you do it in cupcakes, so I'd rec really watching them. I don't remember if other reviewers had problems with not enough batter, but I will double the recipe next time. They tasted great.

This recipe tasted fine but it is definitely not chewy brownies. When made following the recipe 100%, they are spongy and cake-y. Don't be fooled by the high rating, most of the 5 star reviews have drastically modified the recipe to give it that rating.

Used one less egg and took out the baking powder, but still too cakelike. I also tried gentle mixing so that it wouldn't fluff up. The recipe is easy and tastes ok, but I guess I'll keep looking. Try adding some OJ, orange marmalade, and/or orange oil to taste - it made a pretty good orange brownie.
