Wheat Germ Butterscotch Brownies

"Although I wasn't wowed by these brownies, they are healthier than my traditional recipe. And, my two-year old likes them. I was hoping someone with a more health-conscious eating style would give them a try! I think I am too hooked on less healthy dessert recipes to appreciate them. The recipe is from the More-with-Less Cookbook, Dec. 1989 printing, p. 292."

  1. Thanks for this recipe! It's a keeper in our family, with a few crucial changes. First of all, I use honey or agave instead of molasses (did NOT care for it using the molasses--it loses its butterscotch flavor) and I cut the sugar down to 1/2 cup. I use finely chopped pecans, but I think it would be good with coconut as well. Secondly, I present it a "bar" instead of a "brownie" and my kids like it-- for a snack or even breakfast. It really is a good recipe if you don't expect it to be a dessert-like brownie.
