So, I had hoped to watch the World Cup (France vs. Mexico) at the local mexican restaurant and introduce my daughter to world soccer, but the restaurant did not have enough interest and canceled the showing.
We used the laptop to stream the game live from ESPN to our television and thus began our new obsession. And after Mexico trounced France, we had dinner at the Mexican restaurant.
The American game today was full of drama and emotion. It ended a few minutes before lunch so I fried up some of those Wegmans spinach feta peorogies.
While I did that, I had my daughter whip up some Duncan Hines brownies. In the house for those emergency chocolate attacks.
The fun with boxed brownies is all about the substitutions.
Instead of two eggs, you could use applesauce. (4 TBS for each egg)
Instead of water, you could use coffee.
Instead of pure vegetable or canola oil, I was wondering what would happen if I included some walnut oil.
Now, in this batch, I stuck to the directions but added lots of chocolate chips and some caramel candies. Then I scooped them into muffin tins since I don't own a brownie pan.
We baked at 325 for 30 minutes.
When they cool, I'm having one with a BIG glass of almond milk.
if you use applesauce for the oil, you can use 1 tbl flax seed powder and 3 tbl water for the eggs. I do it with "fred" all the time. He thrives with it.
