Brownies Sans Eggs

From the look of this post's title, I can assure you I'm not going on a health kick. I promise. It just so happens, that some of my seemingly useless knowledge has come in handy after all! Haha! I knew it would happen someday!

Here's the story. This past Saturday, the Rubin family invited us over to watch the Husker/Texas game (sadly our brownies turned out better than the game). Mike and Sara made some yummy brats for dinner and Mike's sister Michelle, and her husband brought over some spicy smoked wings. Dinner was so good, we decided dessert would have to wait a few hours. So we played a few card games and let our stomachs settle until our sweet-tooth started to ache for something sweet.

Sara whipped out the brownie mix and started putting together the gooey concoction. Until we realized that we had no eggs! Sara and I had just been to the store, so going back yet again wasn't in the cards. And then I remembered something! It seems like these days there are always substitutes for ingredients in any recipe. How about a can of Coke? So instead of the 2 medium eggs the brownie recipe called for, we used about 3/4 of a can of good ol' Coca-Cola.

The brownie mixture frothed a tad more than usual while mixing, but as the brownies baked the smell was fantastic! The Coca-Cola brownies were a success! They were a tad on the sweet side, but with the addition of ice cream, nobody really minded.

And then we waited.

Voila! Brownies a la Coca-Cola!
