Chocolate Brownies~

 Chocolate brownies!

  Today I baked chocolate brownies using a recipe that can be found at http://sweetasacookie.com/the-best-homemade-double-chocolate-brownies/. Unfortunately I ran out of eggs, so I had to change the Recipe a little bit. By replacing 2 eggs with 1 banana, it added a slight banana flavor resulting in a not as rich brownie. The banana also resulted in a lot moister, gooey-er brownies than it looks from the picture. I also only added 1 1/2 cup chocolate chips instead of 2 as the original recipe calls. Overall, I'm not convinced my changes resulted in the BEST recipe for my tastes, but I'd be willing to actually follow the recipe and give it another try.
