With it being my first time making these brownies, it was ...

Preheat the waffle maker, brush/spray with oil and pour in a healthy scoop of batter into the waffle maker once it's hot enough. Close the lid and wait until the waffle is cooked to your liking, lift the lid carefully and remove the waffle. Repeat step 3 until you've used up all the batter. Toppings *You can use whatever toppings you like. The few times that I made the mat...
