Week 12.2- No Cow Brownies

With a good chocolate chip cookie recipe in hand, I am now able to turn my attention to another popular baked good in my house- brownies. I do have a brownie recipe that I have used in the past, but it is a little more labor-intensive than I can usually afford. I am hoping to find a recipe that, as for my cookie search, is simple and relatively quick. This time, I tried another recipe from the Bakin' Without Eggs cookbook. This one was already milk-free as well, so I was hoping it would work out well.

Recipe- No Cow Brownies from Bakin' Without Eggs by Rosemarie Emro
Modifications- Used apple cider vinegar instead of white vinegar, Bryan-safe chocolate chips, and no nuts.
Reactions- Bryan and Claudia liked them. I thought they were okay, but that I can probably find something better.
Notes- Texture-wise, these are more cake-like than I usually prefer my brownies. I was also able to taste the vinegar, although that might be because I used the apple cider variety- and neither of the kids seemed to mind. I had to bake them for quite a bit longer than indicated- I think it was a total of 40 minutes, and I was again worried about the top layer and edges baking too quickly. If I try these again, I will probably use a larger pan, and try to have white vinegar on hand.
