Whole Wheat Brownies

Tried making these for my NA who brings back everything which I pack in her lunchbox other than 4 pieces of fruits which I keep to make the meal complete for the sake of my satisfaction :)

Since she likes to have cake and desserts, prepared Brownies as part of the trial and error strategy that I am doing to make her complete the Lunch, though this is going on for almost 2 years now :( 

These are healthy snack and also may enjoy it heated with a dollop of Ice cream to serve as a hot Dessert. Came out really well hence thought to share it here.
