Re: Cake or fudge or chew?

I like mine chewy; I'm not really sure what's the difference between "chewy" and "fudgy" brownies, as what I call chewy is thick and dense.

I ended up using the 8x8 pan today, like I did last time. The amount of rise/thickness was good. But I left them in the oven too long, and they got hard/crunchy on the edges.

Note to self: Don't over-bake the brownies! Never over-bake the brownies!

The recipe said to use 1 egg for chewy, 2 eggs for cake-like. I used enough of the "Neat Egg" powder for 1 1/2 eggs. Next time I'll try the amount for only 1 egg.

When making vegan brownies, you have to be careful to use enough leavening & flour, or you can end up with a pan of sticky greasy goo. That's why I tend to err on the side of using more egg replacer, even though I really prefer my brownies to be chewy rather than cake-like.
