Like Jodi Said but better suited for cupcakes. Brownies need to have an oozy gooey texture...great for cake however. -
very simple to put together. very cookie like texture, i added some chocolate chips to the batter and put the nuts just on top. mmm. even my chocolate hating husband wanted more. thanks -
An easy recipe that produces flavorful, moist, cake-texture brownies. Nice and chocolatey without being too rich. Only problem...how do I note just eat them all in one sitting? -
Best brownie ever for me. I loved the cake texture and the ease of preparation. Will be my go to for a quick snack for my chocolate loving grands.

I added 1/4 Cocoa, Substituted Oatmeal for flour, Truvia bakers mix for sugar, increased water adding an additional 1/4 cup and tossed about 10 big chocolate chips on top and it was amazing. I tried the 35 calorie brownie and it was not so good so I combined the two.

My husband and I married straight out of college in July of 1992. I work as the Assistant Manager at a wine shop which allows me to drink on the job! (OK, not that much, but it's still a fun job...) Besides helping customers choose wine they will like (and also help with food and wine pairings for their menus), I also get to help with the catering end of the business, so I get to spend a fair amount of time in the kitchen making fun appetizers and beautiful food displays. I also work part-time at the fromagerie next door. So yeah - that means I eat on the job, too. :^D
We live on several peaceful wooded acres on a cute little river in rural NE Wisconsin, with a cranky old-lady Burmese and whatever stray outdoor cats that have decided to adopt us on any given day. The cute puppy in the picture is Jake, our Elhew-bred English Pointer that we brought home on Easter weekend 2007. I've also got 2 painted turtles named Dennis and Fuzz, and a bunch of fish (koi and goldfish, along with the guppies & swordtails in the turtle tank).
I USUALLY eat and cook healthy, but I rarely pass up dessert, either. I do not eat red meat, and try to limit other animal products, too. I love to bake, although I seem to collect a lot of scone and biscotti recipes which I NEVER get around to making. I bake and eat A LOT of cookies and muffins... I almost always reduce the sugar by 1/4 and use whole wheat pastry flour for at least part of the flour. Those two changes do so much to make recipes healthier without compromising taste. I try to reduce fat whenever I can, too, but while I want to eat healthy, I still want to ENJOY what I eat!!!
I seem to give a lot of 4 and 5 star reviews here - I seem to have a pretty good sense of what I like by looking at a recipe before I try it. Thank you to anyone that tries my recipes in return, or photographs them.
