Pumpkin Swirl Brownies

Pumpkin Swirl Brownies, stacked

Whew. Things are finally back to normal around here. I wasn’t too keen on participating in Project Food Blog at first, but as I read the list of challenges I was inspired. The creative part of my brain took over and I began to imagine how I could take each challenge and create something new and unique. With the support of each of you who voted for me, I was able to present five different challenges. It was a whirlwind five weeks. It was stressful at times, but somehow each challenge got completed on schedule.

It was a joy to peruse the new entries every Monday and discover new blogs. Every single contestant has their own special flair and it has been such a treat to sift through the entries each week.

Perhaps you’d be willing to barter a few extra minutes of your time for one of these brownies. Today is the first day of voting for Project Food Blog, and I’d love it if you could stop by and show your support for Simple Math Bakery. Get to know me by reading my post for the first challenge, then click on my profile picture in the right sidebar to vote.

Olive Oil Brownies

Stack of Three Olive Oil Brownies

Every time I try a new brownie recipe, the resulting brownies taste like the best brownies I’ve ever made. This could mean one of two things: either my baking skills are improving, or I just love any type of brownies I can get my hands on.

So when I found this recipe for olive oil brownies, I was intrigued. No butter? That makes these brownies healthier than their butter-laden counterparts. Right? And yes, these are the best brownies I’ve ever made.
