I found the brownies to have a nice moist/cake texture to them but found the flavour was lacking. I followed the recipe but followed the suggestion of putting the brownies in at 350 for 20 min which was a good amount of time. Unfortunately the brownies seemed to lack a nice chocolate taste to them and I felt like it could have used more sugar as well. Frosting them will probably help give them the sweetness they need. Sorry but not one of my favourites :(.

I really liked this recipe alot. I reduced the temperature to 350 degrees F and for 20 minutes to make it more moist, and it worked well for me. I used canola oil, and I omitted the walnuts, because I don't like any kind of nuts in my brownies. This turned out very well, and my whole family enjoyed it.
