Mister Fudgy with an Oatsy Twist

Baking mister fudgy,

is really easy !

rich & oh-so-chewy,

great with milk for a mid-day munchie!

i love this recipe. it's so simple & quick to do. but i had to give it a bit of a tweak so i reduced the butter & sugar & throw in some oats/wholemeal flour. i must say, i'm more than pleased with this makeover. but as always....it can only get better! so tweak tweak tweak !

2 trials - oats vs wholemeal flour

both batch tasted the same to me but some of my friends who tried it felt that the wholemeal flour one had an aftertaste to it.

my dearest girl who helped with rapid cooling of mister fudgy in the freezer so then we could slice it in the nick of time. it was the night that we were throwing our friend a surprise birthday party and we were running a little bit late. 0.0

6. Allow to cool slightly before adding the vanilla and rum essence, stirring to combine.

7. Add in the eggs (one @ a time) and beat vigorously after each addition - batter would look shiny

How was it?
Gooey. Fudgy. Yummy. Note that the slicing of the brownie might take a bit of effort - the brownie tends to stick to the knife so I had to wipe the brownie off before slicing again. 

Better it up! 

Use 100% oats instead of plain flour.
