I didn't know you're suppose to put decorations AFTER baking

I don't really enjoy baking. Following recipes exactly and regulating oven temperatures stresses me out a bit, so I usually stick to cooking.

I was just telling my friend how the 3 reallyyy reallyyy ripe bananas on my counter were staring into my soul every time I walked past, practically begging me to use them. She gave me a simple chewy brownie recipe, so today I decided to give it a try.

I decorated them before baking and was thinking, "Aww, these little brownie faces are actually turning out kind of cute!"

Guys, I didn't realise that you're supposed to put the decorations on after baking.

I'm absolutely screaming at the outcome. 👁️👄👁️ I guess I'll be eating these melted victims of the oven.

** EDIT: I didn't expect this post to blow up the way it did! Wow, this was so unexpected.

I just wanted to share my stupid, funny beginner baking mistake. I'm happy these little brownie trolls made some of you laugh and brightened your day. I'm glad I could be part of your laughs today! 😂

For those of you who asked for the SIMPLE recipe, here it is:

3 ripe bananas

2 eggs

5 tbsp cacao powder

½ tsp baking powder

1 tbsp protein powder

Bake at 200°C (392°F) for 25 minutes.

And yes... it is a simple recipe that I somehow managed to butcher. 😅
