I heard a soft set of footsteps following me as I groggily felt my way down the stairs this morning. I turned around to find my little guy behind me, and he wrapped his arms around my neck. “Good morning, Mommy,” he greeted me. I could still feel the warmth from his quilt as I hugged his little body. “Good morning, my ang-,” I started…and stopped. He’s seven now, and though I still call both children “my angel,” all of a sudden I was worried he would think he was too big for all that sappiness. “Good morning, my sweet boy,” I said instead.
“Mommy, you can still call me your angel. Even when I’m old.”
I’m sure I will. Even if he changes his mind.
Last week, he helped me with these brownies. While my daughter gets her time with me in the kitchen, I realized that he hasn’t had a chance to bake with me as often. He loved every step, from the whisking to the egg cracking, to of course, the licking of the bowl. “These are going to be good brownies!” he could tell, just from the teensy taste.
And boy, was he right.
Dense and fudgy, these brownies are sweetened with strawberry jam, giving them a richness that is not overly sweet.
Add white or semisweet chocolate chips to the batter to make these brownies even more special. Serve with ice cream or a glass of cold milk!

These stopped me in my tracks. Want.
so sweet to hear about your special morning Liren! I am sure our kids will always be our babies even if they are 50 :) The brownies look simply luscious and are sorely tempting me to go off my ” no more baking” new year resolution! ( But that one was bound to not last anyway!)
What a wonderful recipe. I am going try this.
Oh, I wish I could meet them! Oh, and devour these;) At least the latter can happen this weekend! WOOHOO!
Love how dense and fudgy these look!
So sweet! And I love the idea of jam in brownies–these look super decadent!
mmmm. These look excellent. I too have a few jam jars i need to use up soon…
Such a sweet story! Fudgy jam brownies – oh I love this idea. I have a few open jars of jam at the moment, so I may just have to try these out :).
So sweet :) My daughter used to say she would always live with us, we knew that wouldn’t be so, but they are always your babies (or angels). So happy when I see kids in the kitchen – Chloe was the only one of her 5 college housemates that knew how to cook!
Too sweet. I call my furry babies Angel Face. What a lovely story to share. And those brownies, well! I really need one of those right now. They look amazing! Excellent comfort food.
Aww, furry babies are angels too! Love it!
You son sounds adorable. And these brownies sound amazing!
I know I’m biased, but he is a sweetheart :)
I love your story about the morning with your son. . so adorable! And love that you baked these brownies with him. I bet that made them taste sweeter! I still call my 5 yr old “my baby”!
Baking it with him definitely made it sweeter, Alice :)
They’ll always be our babies, won’t they?
That is too sweet. You son sounds like a little angel. And these brownies – amazing, Liren!
I wish I could send you a box for your birthday, Cassie!!! Hope today is as sweet :) xo
