I needed a quick and easy brownie recipe to fill up a Soldiers Angels care package I was sending out and I'm perpetually trying to clear out the recipes I've pinned on my pinterest boards so this was a good way to kill two birds with one stone.

This wasn't cakey but it wasn't as dense as my go-to recipe for fudgy brownies. Which is the one I've usually been making for package after package. I took a break from that one to try out this one but think I should go back to my favorite one. Which I still need to post - coming....someday.
