I went to her house, so I brought some of the ingredients over. We made Jenny's Brownies, found on Cookie Madness. It was a simple recipe and it produced good results. We might have overbaked it a bit because it was a bit hard.
When I returned to home, I enjoyed some of the yummy nian gao that my mom had steamed for Chinese New Year. I ate sooo much. After that, I went to my Uncle's house and ate dinner there before going back home again. Then I made some blueberry muffins in a cinch as requested by my aunt. I haven't made those for such a long time! They tasted really soft, and they still stayed nice and moist the next day.
Jenny's Brownies
We topped them with some cranberries.
the brownies looks very moist!
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine's Day Esther!
Like the square shapes of the brownies...very cute with the cranberries on top.
ReplyDeleteI agree that the brownies is usually more moist if they are baked in a bigger pan instead of being individual. Nevertheless, the bake was fun and the brownies are delicious.
Happy Valentine's Day to you too Jess!
ReplyDeleteZoe, The pan was made specifically for brownies, but I find it very useful as a muffin pan too. You should get one if you like the edges of brownies. :)
Yup, next time I will make a note of that and keep track of the baking time.
the brownies must be so chocolatey and rich, anyway some brownies are meant to be dense, good attempt!
ReplyDeleteHey I love your baking trays! Haven't seen any like them lol. Your brownies look AMAZING. D'you know something? I just baked nutella brownies today (without a recipe), and they got completely BURNT because I left them for too long! So they were, not just hard, they were quite crispy haha. Some bits were somewhat salvageable. I love how your brownies are so rich and dense. It's how I like them to be :)
ReplyDeletelena, I thought that they were ok. :/ It's one of the easiest brownie recipes I ever tried, but others have tasted better. I will make it again and bake for a lesser amount of time or increase the amount of chocolate. We'll see how it goes. :)
ReplyDeleteSharon, I get them on Amazon and hope for the best. :) I always worry if they'll arrive in good condition, but it's a chance I'm willing to take because of the reasonable prices.
Wow! Sounds delicious. I'm sure they would have turned out great if they didn't get burnt. You can say that they became cookies then. lol I don't have any nutella, so I can't try it out in recipes, but I can imagine how delicious it is slathered on a slice of bread.
I want a baking tray like yours! I'v enever actually seen that shape in shops here....=O
ReplyDeleteThe brownies look really delicious too :) I love it how you just make blueberry muffins like it's a really easy and normal thing to do...haha :)
Von, I never noticed these type of pans until recently and they aren't that common here too. I got mine at Target for a pretty reasonable price. Maybe you can order it online?
ReplyDeleteThank you. :) Back then, before I had a blog, I would always make the same recipe over and over again. Those were the scone and muffin recipes. I soon found Pioneer Woman's blueberry muffin recipe and they are sooo easy! It's basically gathering all the ingredients and a little bit of whisking and mixing and then you're done.
