We will not be making these again.

the brownies turned out DELICIOUS! Can't tell the difference between regular brownies!! Made this several times already!! But i will take the suggestion of substituting the oil though. ^_____^

Very tasty! I took the advice of other reviewers and used 1/2 cup oil + mashed 1/2 of a ripe banana instead of the full cup of oil. I also substituted 1 cup freshly brewed coffee for the water. Those were great suggestions-- the brownies turned out wonderfully. This is my first experience with vegan baking, and I think the result was every bit as tasty as "regular" brownies. They were moist and flavorful, slightly gooey, with good texture and a nice appearance. The banana really does add banana flavor to the brownies, but I think that works. My husband described it as being similar to banana bread with a lot of chocolate chips in it! I don't think it had THAT much banana flavor, but it was definitely there and quite nice. I took these brownies to my book club meeting and they were gone in an instant. Two thumbs up. I will make these again.

Fantastic! I took the advice from the other reviews by subsituting half of the oil for half of a banana puree (even though it took about 10 additional min. to bake.) I also took put in gluten/wheat-free flour and rice milk since my brother is allergic to gluten, wheat and dairy. Usually when you alter something to make it gluten/wheat-free it doesn't taste as good and that also goes for some vegan recipes but this was a hit and tasted the same as standard brownies! This is definitely a keeper!

These Vegan Brownies are awesome!!!!!

Very good! This is the first recipe I have tried that has yielded positive results. I did double the vanilla extract, and I used one part oil and one part melted Earth Balance vegan margarine (because I ran out of oil). I baked them for about 38 minutes, and hey turned out very, very gooey. Next time I will use all butter instead of oil, soymilk instead of water, and will bake longer. Overall, it tastes great!!

Absolutely awsome!!! Easy to make!!! I added chopped chocolate bars to the dough and the result was wonderful!!! They stay moist for several days and I will most certainly make them again!

just OK. not the best brownie i have eaten, a little spongey feeling. good chocolate taste, perhaps from the chocolate chips and toffee bits i sprinkled on top.

Wow, what a great recipe! So super easy and really great texture for those with sensory intergration issues. I added 1TBS of mint extract to give it a kick. In another batch I left out 1/4 cup of oil and replaced it with natural chunky peanut butter. It's such a great basic that you can really get creative with it.

I was looking for an egg free recipe and this was really great. Thanks.

This recipe was just ok. I followed the recommendations to reduce the oil and sub applesauce, (1/3 oil, 2/3 applesauce for the oil). These turned out more cake like and I prefer chewy so maybe next time, I will use more oil.

Not moist enough. Chewy but not in a deliciously chewy brownie way. Would not make again.

Was a hit at our party (both for dairy-free and non-vegan eaters)! Followed other suggestions: increased the cocoa powder by 1/4 cup; substituted the 1 cup water with 1/2 cup strong coffee and 3/4 cup water; substituted the 1 cup oil with 1/4 cup oil and 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce; AND added vegan chocolate chips (about 1 cup). I baked the brownies for a total of 45 min after first checking at 30 min and increasing the time by 3-5 min until toothpick inserted in the middle came out clean. Did NOT come out oily. No one could tell they were any different than regular boxed brownies! Will make again since I have another bag of vegan choc. chips.

There were pretty good, and I say this coming from the perspective of a non-vegan. I did not have problems with them being crumbly at all. If anything, they were too moist! I followed others' suggestions and used 1 cup AP flour, 1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup apple sauce, 2 TBS oil, 1 tsp vanilla, 1/4 tsp baking soda, and a pinch of salt. If doing it again, I would probably cut down on the water and add a bit more oil. These brownies weren't as rich as I wanted them to be.

I was out of eggs and milk so I made these...AMAZING!! My 12 year old cousin shudders at the sight of tofu...he looooved these!! I will never go back to regular brownies again!! Coffee instead of water...BRILLIANT!!!
