"Great chewy, fudgy brownie IF you eliminate one egg, and add more cocoa (1/4 cup). No baking powder, or else it will rise too much like a cake. Not really deep dish, but just regular size thickness..." See more. And make it easy on yourself folks, this can be a one-bowl recipe. I just add all the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and slowly stir until it's all incorporated. Definitely increase cocoa and add 3 tablespoons sugar to compensate. I also used just 1/2 stick of butter and 1/4 cup applesauce and it was super moist and hopefully a smidge healthier. This is a really easy recipe and quick and fun to do with kids. Why use stuff from a box with all those preservatives when this is soooo easy. Bake no longer than 35 min in 8x8 square pan. Tip for all brownie recipes: grease only the bottom of your pan, not the sides to avoid burning or turning too crisp or dark on the sides of the brownies. With a few changes, this one is my master recipe."

"After reading many of the reviews, it quickly became apparent the original Deep Dish Brownie recipe was no longer being rated--it was the NEW Deep Dish Brownie recipe: 2 eggs, no baking powder. I like..." See more a chewy rather than cake-like brownie so this is what I did as well. However, this recipe shouldn't be rated on whether it's better with 2 or 3 eggs--not fair. After all, even a brownie mix gives variations, depending on whether a fudgey or cakey brownie is preferred. Having said that, it IS specific and relevant to this recipe that I can say that while the texture is fine, there is just simply too much sugar, too much butter, and not enough chocolate--whether you make the recipe as stated or eliminate 1 egg and the baking powder. I could make the suggestions to reduce sugar by 1/2 c., reduce butter by 1/4 c., and increase cocoa by a couple of tablespoons and maybe even add a tsp. or so of espresso powder to intensify the chocolate flavor--but then this would be an entirely different recipe. As written, this recipe will not be a repeat for me."

"LOVE these brownies with my modifications: I only used 2 eggs and omitted the baking powder and I sprinkled chocolate chips on the top. I doubled the recipe and baked in a 9 x 13. These were everythin..." See moreg a brownie should be - chewy, fudgy, wonderful! I will make these again and again! Thanks ! ***Update*** Just wanted to let you all know that I made these with baking Splenda and they did beautifully and tasted delicious! *Another Update* - It's been a longtime since I found this recipe, I make it all the time. The only thing I have changed is that we don't use choc chips anymore. This is still a major hit!"
