brownie muffins...sometimes you can have it all

as promised...here they are...my brownie muffins...the reason for my cupcake wrappers and my twine bowl

...when i stayed at my parent's house during my vacation, we were invited to a nice get-together and i decided to bring a homemade sweet little something...but of course i did not bring any of my fancy little baking gadgets and had to improvise.

a more traditional dessert would be the solution...a chocolaty one of course...i could not decide whether i should go for brownies or muffins and therefore opted for a combination of the both...brownie muffins.

...these beautiful dark brown delights deserved a special presentation and thats why i came up with the elegant lacy cupcake wrappers and the shabby spray-painted twine bowl with a crochet flower.

the simple recipe does not require any extra ordinary ingredients...as always...but is really tasty and easy to make...i hope you enjoy as much as i did...
