Has anyone used the brownie pan yet? What have you found you like in it? I was thinking of trying mini lasagnas in it for my In/Out party, but I'm not sure how to make them/how long to bake them. Open for lots of ideas!
 
I've made blueberry muffins in mine.... it's just a thicker version of my muffin top pan that I have that isn't PC.

That is a great idea..since the muffin top IS the BEST part!!
 
I would think they would work for mini lasagnas.These are some other ideas that come to mind:
Pigs in a blanket with them. Pour pancake batter, then a piece of breakfast sausage in there for a quick breakfast on the go.Or how about oven baked grilled cheese sandwiches? just trim the bread....mini quiches or fritattasindividual rice krispy treats or granola barsany bar cookie recipe (perfect for bake sales)mini cheesecakescorn bread (this way you can make jalapeno ones separately)Mac & Cheese casserole? May have to thicken it more for less mess
The ideas are endless with this pan! I LOVE IT!!!
 
I think this might be my favorite new product. I did a box mix of brownies and for some reason "they tasted better than box brownies" according to my hubby.

I think the mini lasagna is a fantastic idea... gonna have to play with that one!
 
I am planning on trying it for individual pizzas for a "Kids in the Kitchen" cooking show. Can't wait to try it out!
 
Could you bake eggs in it?* So each person can put their own stuff in it?* Like little individual omelets
 
I made pumpkin scones in mine the other day for Bible Study...10 min. Awesome.

If you have a few minutes, could you supply additional details -- I have many scone recipes that I love. Did you just put regular scone dough in the brownie pans wells or did you modify the dough recipe in some way? TIA.​
 
I did mini corn dogs in them. I took corn muffin mix and added slices of little smokies as that is what I had on hand. Turned out great!
 
Oh yeah, we need a Brownie Pan recipe file :)
Kind of a side note, my mom saw on Rachel Ray this morning that she used a regular brownie mix in a waffle maker - that sounds like a neat idea too!

Would you be willing to share this recipe? I LOVE pumpkin scones and would love to try it out in the pan :) Thank you
 
We did mini omelets at recipe night. Shredded potatoes on the bottom, egg/milk mixture, added green pepper & onions & added shredded cheese during the last few minutes. Worked great!
 
I had HUGE success modifying the chocolate peanut butter cup brownie trifle into individual brownie sandwiches with this pan. I followed the brownie recipe that came on the U&C, sliced them open and filled them with the peanut butter/pudding trifle mixture and then drizzled peanut butter chips over the top. So much easier for work events where people may not want a bowl of trifle. Huge, huge hit.
 
What ever brownie recipe you use, try adding 1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper for a real kick.:balloon::love:
 
Sounds to me a Brownie Pan recipe book is in order:chef: So many awesome ideas from everyone
 
how long do you cook the omelettes?

Thanks. :)
 
If anyone does create a brownie recipe cookbook, I would love to have a copy. Please send to: [email protected]
 
I found a great recipe for petite turkey meatloaf from "Gina's Skinny Taste". The mini meatloaves are delicious and freeze well to take out individually later.

1/2 small onion, minced
1 tsp olive oil
1.3 lb 99% lean ground turkey
1/2 cup oatmeal
1/4 cup ketchup + 2 tbsp
2 tsp worcesterchire sauce
1 large egg
1 tsp marjoram ( I used pampered chef italian seasonings)
salt

Preheat the oven to 350°. Saute olive oil and onion on low until translucent.

In a medium bowl mix turkey, onion, oatmeal, egg, ketchup, salt and marjoram. Use the large scoop and place each scoop into each cup of the non stick brownie pan.

In a small cup mix remaining 2 tbsp ketchup with worcesterchire sauce and brush onto each loaf to give it a nice glaze.

Bake uncovered for about 35 minutes at 350°. After baking let it sit for 5 minutes serving.

for a brunch show on Sat I used the New Brownie Pan and made individual eggs. I crumbled up bacon into each well and then added shredded sharp cheddar and then whisked up 9 eggs with a splash of milk and filled each well up to 3/4. Then into the oven at 350 for 15 minutes. Salt and pepper to taste but that is it - so easy and yummy.
 
Wow!! What fabulous ideas! This is why I love the forum - so many ideas and everyone willing to share. I would never have thought of some of these recipes on my own - and now I'll steal them and share them at my shows! After I try them out first, of course...for quality control, not just because they sound yummy. Thanks, everyone!
 
Do you think the eggs and bacon would re-heat well? I need something like this that my DD will eat that I can keep in the fridge so she can just grab. This would be perfect because it's protein and it's gluten-free. Has anyone done this? Thanks, Marci

Great idea! Seems like these would be perfect to put on biscuits or flour tortillas to make a quick breakfast sandwich!

Which leads me to think of other options for sandwiches...wonder if you could bake sausage in the bottom, then add cheese, then top with egg, for a layered breakfast sandwich. Totally need to experiment with that one...

Eggs reheat well! Eveyr Sunday we make a frittata in the 12" skillet - brown peppers, onions, meat (bacon, canadian bacon, turkey sausage), mushrooms and spinach, whisk up eggs and pour over top, then bake. I'm going to try these individual servings in the brownie pan but think it is just as easy to slice out of the 12" skillet.

We grab slices in the morning and microwave then put them in a tortilla for breakfast on the go
 
Thanks, Megan - I think I'll make a bunch up tomorrow when I am off. DD has a 7:30 class MWF and I'm getting to be a stickler about her eating breakfast before she goes so this would be very quick and easy.
 
Thinking of trying this recipe in the Brownie Pan for dinner tonight. Anyone made it in the Torte Pan before? Sounds pretty yummy...

Chicken Jalapeño Cornbread Bake


Ingredients:
2 packages (8.5 ounces each) cornbread mix plus ingredients for cornbread
1 1/2 cups chopped cooked chicken
1/2 cup (2 ounces) grated cheddar cheese
1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and chopped
2 tablespoons Southwestern Seasoning Mix


Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray one Torte Pan with nonstick cooking spray.
Combine ingredients for cornbread according to package directions in Classic Batter Bowl; add chicken, cheese, jalapeño pepper and seasoning mix. Mix well.
Pour batter into prepared pan; bake 20-22 minutes or until wooden pick inserted into center comes out clean. Remove from oven; serve warm.
 
This pan looks cute. Square cupcakes!
 
I Love the new brownie pan! If someone tries a recipe and it works would you mind posting it in recipe form, that way if we put together a file, it is easy to copy and paste.
Thanks so much for all the great ideas! Looking forward to trying more. Best of all, so easy to clean up!
 

Frequently Asked Questions

To ensure even baking, preheat your oven properly and avoid overcrowding the pan. Use a toothpick to check for doneness in the center of the brownies. If it comes out with a few moist crumbs, they are done; if it’s wet, give them a few more minutes.
