Today is my birthday so I thought I’d post a sweet treat for tailgating. These are the perfect take anywhere, blow everyone’s socks off dessert. I took them to a Labor Day picnic and they very quickly disappeared. As an added bonus, these are made with 100% whole wheat flour! That’s my kind of brownie.
The original recipe says to bake for 20-25 minutes, but mine were overdone at 15. So I put 8 minutes — just keep checking. These are very “thin” in the cups, but they are very rich so it really is the perfect size.
