That was my first thought anyway. Unlike some other recipes, you don't really need any air in brownies, so Jutta's suggestion of the sharp taps:) In any case, these brownies look beautiful. I love Nigella's HTBADG brownies that use cream cheese, so I can imagine how these ones taste, even if it is without the coffee element for me;)Cobyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07730025899595026688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6687817399137597581.post-13620720827903483772010-04-21T18:03:23.219+01:002010-04-21T18:03:23.219+01:00BG I do think it may be air pockets as this someti...BG I do think it may be air pockets as this sometimes happens to me with cupcakes, and I have found that lowering my oven temperature and giving the tin a couple of firm taps on the work bench helps alleviate the problem. <br /><br />I just made Nigella's brownies from How To Be A Domestic Goddess and I think I may have slightly undercooked them, which makes for a good dessert though. But honestly I prefer the other brownies I have baked recently by Stephanie Alexander and Hugh F-W. I am still looking for the perfect brownie recipe.Juttahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16112562631706207378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6687817399137597581.post-34964010605013381332010-04-21T16:36:24.349+01:002010-04-21T16:36:24.349+01:00It could possibly be that you had too many air bub...It could possibly be that you had too many air bubbles in the batter when it went into the oven. Sometimes when you have too much leavening in the recipe but I do not see where any was used, so that is out!<br />Besides that, I think they look so gooey and moist and I am glad to hear the cream cheese didn't over power the chocolate as I never have that luck so I gave up on the cream cheese brownies. As much as I love Nigella, I have never made her snow flecked brownies. My son adores brownies so I better give them a go!<br />Sorry you had some craters, but they sure do look delicious.La Bella Cookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16700526692013628923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6687817399137597581.post-21830181350226015312010-04-21T13:43:12.996+01:002010-04-21T13:43:12.996+01:00Edie, delighted you are enjoying the breads - it i...Edie, delighted you are enjoying the breads - it is wonderful to get feedback.<br />I love smoked salmon and/or cream cheese (and some lemon juice) with the wholemeal bread, also love ham and salad (with mayo!). My hubbie is a cheese and tomatoe man! I really love good butter and jam with all bread!!<br /><br />Saffy and Lucie, probably wouldn't have happened if the brownies were just for us!! Would love to know what caused the craters though.Brownieville Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02492647486930989408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6687817399137597581.post-57981182936131481832010-04-21T11:56:13.092+01:002010-04-21T11:56:13.092+01:00I'm like you, when I cook for others I want it...I'm like you, when I cook for others I want it to be perfect. Thanks for the suggestions on my blog. I'm going to try your coffee cake loaf this weekend. I made your husband's favorite bread this past weekend and everyone loved it. One of my co-workers loved it so much that I gave her the 1/2 loaf I had left. The flavor is very similar to the whole grain breads here. I personally like your extra healthy bread a little better (but everyone here says it's reminiscint of pumpernickel, which I love). Instead of buying bread for our tea, I plan to make your extra healthy and your husband's current favorite and the Avoca (white) Soda bread. Any suggestions on fillings? All the breads are much heartier than what we can buy here.

I agree about the snow flecked brownies!
