RECIPE NOTES

Ingredient brands used in this recipe:

Note: Potato starch and potato flour are not the same.  Potato starch replaces 1 egg and  if not found in the grocery store, it is pretty easy to find in store and great to have on hand for vegan baking.
If potato starch is not available, use 1 tablespoon ground chia seed plus 3 tablespoons water.  Allow to soak several minutes before adding to recipe.  May slightly alter texture of brownies.
