My early vegan brownies were like eating sweet bricks

Back then, I just mixed flour, sugar, and oil, and they came out dense and dry. These days, I add black beans or avocado for moisture, and they turn out fudgy and rich. It's a total shift from basic mixes to knowing how ingredients work together. I really appreciate how recipe testing has changed things.

Olivia_perez is right that the error part sticks, but I've found the real lesson is in noticing why something failed. My first ten batches of gluten-free cookies taught me more than any recipe ever could. Now I can fix a dry mix just by feel, which feels like kitchen magic.

Totally wild how much trial and error teaches you.

@olivia_perrez isn't it funny how the error part sticks with you more? What did we even learn from that?

Yeah the "trial" part is always so fun, like accidentally burning dinner three times. The "error" part is just me staring at a smoke alarm. Really builds character.
