Bring on the milk with these luscious brownies. Donna Hay is my favourite woman game changer so far.
Oh man I’ve had a serious craving for brownies recently. Yours look like chocolatey-deliciousness! Yum!
Donna Hay is brilliant. So many brownies around the blog world lately! Yours look perfect – that flaky top is my favorite. I may have to make a batch today!
Ah! The quest for the perfect brownie continues, I see! That brownie and glass of milk is just such a pleasant temptation! Isn’t Donna Hay something? She really is a phenome Down Under! Watch out Martha Stewart!
It’s the dark chocolate – captivates me every time. Enjoying the recipes from Donna Hay quite a lot and now I need to add these brownies to my growing list!
Luscious chocolate! Good anytime.
This looks so good. Yum!
I first follow Donna Hay when she writes for the Brisbane newspaper, I love the simple recipes and her simple but stylish photography.
The brown sugar is an interesting ingredient for brownies. (I love that first pic of the brownie on top of the glass of milk.) I am posting a coffee inspired brownie tomorrow. (Great minds…!) 🙂
Your photos are perfect, Veronica! And the brownie looks moist and delicious. I’ve never made her brownies. These look every bit as good (if not better) than my favorite old recipe!
Even though I didn’t blog about them, I actually made some of her brownies last night…very similar, but with raspberries. Yum! These look great 😀
Looks great and I’ll be mentioning some brownies I made from scratch in cookbook review next week or so myself.
They look like everything a brownie should be. I’m loving your game changers series, Veronica.
I love the simplicity of Donna Hay’s recipes – these brownies look nice and chewy!
These Looks so soft and good. I am now craving some brownies!!
Thanks for sharing!

These brownies look deliciously fudgy; great recipe!
I’m not sure there is anything better in this world than a warm, homemade brownie with a big glass of milk!
