Auntie Jill's Soy-Free Vegan Brownies - and They're Good!

Nif's Note:

Don't let the name fool you - these are delicious! My Sister had some pretty strict dietary needs and found a recipe that she could play around with to suit her needs. It has no soy, and no milk products but tastes terrific. The best thing about this is that you can lick the bowl because there are no eggs! This brownie is a little more cake-like but I don't like really rich foods, so it's perfect. Enjoy!

Boy oh boy..these are really good. Not too sweet in the least and definitely more cake-ish than fudge-ish. Are those words? I did omit the walnut's b/c I was sharing with others and some preferred w/o. I definitely would have added them had it been just for me. :-) Made for KK's Chef's Pick.

I had another brownie recipe for my son who has allergies to milk, egg and peanuts but it didn't work good. So I came across this recipe and left out the nuts and it turned out sooooo good! I will be making these for every birthday and gathering I can think of. YUM, the whole family loved them and you can't even tell there is no milk or egg.

These are fabulous- easy- and vegan, too! Whoohoo! Anybody would love 'em. They hit the right balance between fudgey and cakey- just the way I like my brownies. And I have to say, I don't usually like nuts in brownies, but the walnuts here are *really* good. Will be keeping this recipe! Thanks for posting, Nif!
