Egg-less brownies

"Brownies" is a baked bar which is crunchy like cookies and soft like a cake.  It is a very popular sweet item in European and Western countries like USA.  This sweet bar is eaten with either hot chocolate sauce or all time favorite Vanilla ice cream scoop which had earned a very famous name of" Iron and Ivory".....
