Very moist but fattening, can substitute the oil for applesauce for a lower fat version

Wow! These were great brownies! Loved the addition of cinnamon...we added about 3/4 teaspoon of cinnamon and it was perfect. These are very rich and make for a perfect indulgent, guilty pleasure! I was a little concerned about olive oil in brownies, but it turned out fine. I wouldn't change a thing...this recipe is going in my favorites file and will be made regularly at our house. Thanks for sharing this great recipe! Made for Spring PAC 2010...you've been adopted!
