I thought about not giving a review on these brownies at all, they were the worst brownies we have ever tried. the texture was rubbery,the taste awful. I made them just as the recipe states,but left out the walnuts. the cook time says 35 minutes,it was more like 15 minutes. we wach tried one then threw them away.

The first time I've made them, and they taste delicious! I used all the suggestions from Steph82. But I think the batter fell, beause they still felt ever so slightly rubbery. Next time I wil put 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder to make it fluffier, and I will substitute the 1/2 cup of water with skim milk to add further richness. Excellent substitutions, Steph82!

I personally have never been pleased with Woodruff so I haven't personally tried this particular brownie. However try using a fruit puree instead of the apple sauce such as prunes or apple blueberry or the like. Also Woodruff recommends if the texture leaves a lot to be desired add a tablespoon or two of Lecithin granules. Since you are removing the fats you need to whip the daylights out of those whites and fold them in very very gently because the air you would get from adding the fat isn't there. Just some hints for anyone who really wants to try this.
