Hi Isa,

Thanks so much for this recipe. I just made them and they are delicious. I love prunes! The only difference is that I added 1/3 of a cup of oat bran, a bit of milk (2tbsp), and a tad more oil (I used olive oil). As I am addicted to dark chocolate, this is a great way to get my fix without all the fat.

Thanks again!

I really wanted to like these, they were so healthy and so cute. But they were a bit too squidgy and sticky (even once cooled, and I don’t think I undercooked them) and for me the prune flavour, though not overpowering, was just slightly too strong. My 4-year-old, who eats just about anything I bake, only ate 2 1/2 of these! The amount of oil is so tiny, I might try increasing it to 1/4 cup and then decreasing the prunes accordingly for a sort of medium fat brownie bite instead.

Great recipe makeover with the use of prunes, flax seed and whole wheat flour. You are amazing, love your blog:-)

melissa, I just saw this. Yes, increase baking time if your using larger cups. Not necessarily by double the amount, start at 1 1/2 time the baking time and work from there. And they taste best when fully cooled.

Hi Isa! Tried these out today using mini muffin cups. They were still too big, so I only got 14 cups. I baked them for 20 minutes, then took em out. too wet and uncooked. So I kept baking longer and longer, in the end I probably baked double the time.

My brother and sister and mom didn’t like them, so I was pretty disappointed. We went out shopping and when I came back I checked on the brownies again, and tasted one out curiosity. Hey, they became chewy and really chocolatey!! I love them. Maybe I should try convincing my brother to try again…

And next time, I’ll stick to the brownie size.

Question: I think I got small but hard prune seeds in the brownies. Can I do anything about that?

When my brownies are double the size of yours, does that mean I have to bake double the time too?

I think a low fat cookbook is a FANTASTIC idea. Your recipes from Veganomicon are so appetizing already, lowfat PLUS appetizing is gonna completely win me over.

And…HA. I have everything for this recipe. Except mini muffin tins. I only have the regular ones. AARGH.

Woah, these look amazing! We all have to watch our weight, now and again, when the baking gets a little out of control, so there’s definitely a need for recipes like this, in my life, at least…
