3 Chocolate Desserts in 1 Recipe

I've never posted about food before but there is always a first.  I was so excited I had to share this recipe.  Cooking is one of my many crafts and as a wife and mother of 4 I am always cooking.  I frequently have to make something out of nothing for dinner and often our best ideas come out of necessity.  

I NEEDED something sweet but most recipes call for eggs, brown sugar, vanilla, and butter.  What was I going to do?  I didn't have any of those.  This really limited my options for something sweet.  

I found a no egg recipe online and tweaked it.  It called for butter and brown sugar but I used oil and white sugar instead.  I wasn't sure if it would work but it did!  Can you believe it?  They taste just like brownies.

I didn't know if the recipe would work so I made 3 desserts from one recipe.  I divided the batter into thirds.   I cooked some plain, some with oat meal, and some in a pan like brownies.  I added a no bake cheese cake topping to the brownies.  Now, I have sweets for tomorrow too!

I hope you try this recipe, you will thank me.  Leave a comment and let me know if you do.
