Brownies

Truly EGGLESS!!This is a very special brownie recipe i am sharing which i acquired from a sweet friend. There are so many ways to make brownies but i adapted these because this was much appreciated by my spiritual master. I only wish i can bake them many more times for my Guru. I have made these for many friends and family and they cant stop talking about it.Try making for your loved ones and they cant stop loving you. Drop a line when you feel the love.
