I am a vegetarian and this turned out to be wonderful, though the water qty needs to be increased and I broke the beater of the mixer, this needs a tough mixer.

i used regular butter and these turned out fabulously. the water seemed all right to me, and i just used a wooden spoon, so no mixers were harmed in the making of these brownies :)

My daughter is allergic to eggs and I have a hard time finding dessert recipes that are worth eating. This recipe was delicious and she asked for seconds. Thank you for the recipe. If you find any more good eggless recipes please let me know.

Excellent recipe, I made these for my son's birthday party where a little boy attending is allergic to dairy, eggs, nuts, soy and seafood! I have never seen him stuff so much food into his mouth and the brownies were his particular favourite. I too used a wooden spoon to mix with no alteration to the recipe. You could use normal butter if you have no allergies, just make sure it is the unsalted kind. Normal sugar can be used for the recipe, just use icing (powdered) sugar for dusting the tops. Thanks again for a great recipe!!

I made an icing of instant sugar free chocolate pudding, 3/4 cup ice cold water and 2 tablespoons raspberry liqueur. The brownie is quite good on its own but definitely needs some sort of topping or icing. The roux start sounded weird, but it looked so much like creamed butter and sugar I may use this as the start of many recipes. This was fantastic, everyone should try it!
