This recipe might be missing baking powder to make it rise and not be so flat.

Awful!! It's a long stretch to call this a "Brownie". Was flat, not cakey or fudgy and hardly chocolately at all. I'm going to keep looking for my "not-so-bad-for-me-wonder-brownie" recipe.

This made a very thin fudgy brownie. It did not rise up at all, and I may have overcooked it a bit because it never quite looked done. But it had very nice flavor. I used 2/3 sugar and 1/3 splenda to try and cut down on the calorie content a bit.
