Wacky Brownies

[purple]

I love chocolate and brownies. My 16 year old wants to go gluten-free, df and meat free. I just made these and they turned out really good on the first try. I put in healthier ingredients. Feel free to tweak it! I call these Wacky Brownies b/c I go wacko for chocolate and b/c they are made so different.
