One Bowl Brownies

So these are Smitten Kitchen's favorite brownies.  I can't promise to say I see why, because they didn't wow me or Sally, but they're a pretty good brownie recipe and relatively quick to make.

Original Recipe: http://smittenkitchen.com/blog/2012/08/my-favorite-brownies/
Modifications: 1/3 c less sugar, added 1/4 t. cinnamon
made in a 8x6 glass pan because we're rebels like that (turn down the temp 25 degrees )
