Brownnniiiie – my love affair with this devilish treat started back in college (yeah, rather late or shall I say thankfully late ;D) and ever since I have been faithfully in love with it.
When I said goodbye to hidden eggs in desserts last year, I had somehow managed to get the brownie and most desserts off my mind. Have to admit, the food blogs I keep discovering day after day have made it very very very difficult for me to stay away from all things sweet and in many ways is responsible for me baking, since eggless desserts aren’t readily available.
Back to today’s topic and the eggless brownie recipe came from browsing through Asha Khatau’s Delectable Desserts of the World book and I just had to give it a try. It needed simple ingredients readily available in the kitchen.
The result - :D nah I don’t want to rave anymore, looking back at my recipes and I have already used a lot of yums and deliciouses .. though I should add that this recipe is a MUST try. What you get is a heavenly delight.

1/2 tsp Soda bi-carbonate (I did not have so skipped)
