Urgent brownie help

[allycat228]

My dad has been making brownies, they look really greasy like there is a slick of oil on the top. They are in the oven at the moment are they ruined?

Did he put oil in them?
I've never had that happen so just trying to work out if the chocolate split or something? Have you tried soaking it up with kitchen roll?

I wonder if the chocolate butter mixture was too hot or maybe not enough flour😳 He's 17 but still upset. He is trying again when he's back from school tomorrow

100g dark choc
50g milk choc
125g salted butter he used unsalted
200g light brown sugar used caster
2 large eggs

Might be the method as you add the melted chocolate to the egg mixture. Maybe it was too hot? Sometimes things just go wrong. I have a very bad relationship with macarons! I often end up with a giant boiled sweet at the bottom of my bowl with meringue on top!
Hope the next batch go ok for him

Oh no What a shame they didn't work

Hummingbird Bakery chocolate brownies are my favourite and so easy to make! The ingredients are similar to those he's used so fingers crossed he may have spare to give them a go. The recipe is in the link below, I also add a bag of chocolate chunks at the end for extra chocolateiness

What chocolate did he use? Sometimes the cheaper chocolate has oil in it that comes out if used in large quantities.
