Let’s Make Mystery Brownies for Mom’s Birthday

by Kristi Rimkus on June 20, 2012


Yesterday was my mom’s birthday.

She’s a terrific mom to be sure, and well deserving of a treat on her special day, so I decided to make her a dessert she’ll never forget.

Healthy Brownie Recipe

I can’t take credit for Mom’s birthday brownies, but I can send you to Chocolate-Covered Katie. You’ll find her deep dish cookie pie there.

Don’t be deterred by the garbanzo beans and pumpkin in this easy brownie recipe. This is the richest brownie you’ll ever enjoy, and you won’t have to feel one bit guilty when you take each decadent bite.

Katie served up blondie brownies, but if you want a chocolate brownie, I simply added 1/4 cup Hershey’s dark cocoa and dessert was served.

Happy Birthday Mom! We love you. :)

Hi Roxana! I have to tell you that I loved those burger buns – amazing color and they looked so light and fluffy!

I know it sounds like a bizarre brownie recipe, but it really is fantastic. The proof is that my husband raved about them. Naturally I didn’t tell him what was in them.
