You know what I can't say no to? Brownies. I can't say no to brownies. I do love pretty much all desserts, but I hold a special place in my heart for chocolate. Also, why is it that brownie batter always seems to taste better than the cooked brownies? Does anyone else feel this way? Well, I surely do, so I decided to make this...

This recipe is super versatile
One of the best parts about this recipe is how versatile it is. You can use the brownie batter on top of your pancakes, rice cakes, mixed into your oatmeal, or even straight up by the spoon! You can even put it inside a tortilla and make a brownie batter quesadilla out of it!
