We really enjoyed how low fat and much healthier these brownies are. Did use the addition of chocolate chips suggested I the intro. Made twice as the first time I used a 8x8 pan recommend in step three and while they tasted ok I have seen fatter pancakes. The second time (used for photo) I baked in a loaf pan and increased the bake time by 8 minutes. Both times I ran the tofu through the food processer and used only whole wheat flour. We both also thought the cinnamon was a nice addition. Thanks for the post.
