Shirley's original recipe can be found here:

My changes were as follows:

I used half whole wheat flour and half regular.
I reduced the amount of white sugar a bit and used 1/2 cup brown sugar in place of a 1/2 cup of the regular.
The mixture seemed dry so I added 1/2 cup buttermilk.
I cut the amount of frosting called for in half and it was plenty to frost the whole batch.

Very moist and cake-like brownies!http://media-files.gather.com/images/d270/d204/d745/d224/d96/f3/full.jpghttp://media-files.gather.com/images/d271/d204/d745/d224/d96/f3/full.jpg

OMG, brownies are the bomb

You know I wouldn't care if there was chopped up zukes in these...or even sauerkraut. Brownies is brownies no matter what the ingredients. The only thing better than brownies is...brownies with frosting on them! If I can't get a cookie; I'll take a brownie.

Mmm.... They sound fantastic!

I seriously need to stay away from the chocolate recipes until after I actually hit the kitchen and make a cake or something.

Thanks for posting this to Gather Recipe Review! The frosting sounds very rich with 1/2 teas. of vanilla... did that taste too vanilla-y?
Sandra T. Oct 5, 2008, 12:31pm EDT
Congratulations! I've featured your article in Gather Recipe Review! Thanks for the awesome review!
☀ Aunt Shanny Oct 5, 2008, 12:32pm EDT
I added 2 t of vanilla, Sandra. When I use the "cheap" stuff I always add a lot of it. Maybe I like vanilla-y flavor?

Sounds yummy and I could make these gluten-free. I like that you can sneak vegetables into dessert, LOL!
LaRue B. Oct 15, 2008, 10:10pm EDT
