Baking help!

My mom is famous in our circle of friends for her Creme de Menthe Squares.  http://cooking-books.blogspot.com/2010/12/creme-de-menthe-brownies.html

I'm going to a cookie exchange Thursday and one of the hosts has developed a severe alergy to gluten but she loved my mom's squares before she had to give up gluten or keep paying hospital bills.  I have a great gluten free brownie recipe I'm going to use for the bottom layer so she can have them again this year. 

Here's where I need your help.  My brownie recipe makes 3 dozen mini muffins.  Any idea how that would translate to approx. 1" thick brownies?  I'm thinking it would make more than a 9x13 pan's worth but I'm not sure!  What do you think?

Re: Baking help!

  • My first thought was that the 36 mini muffins recipe would make more than a 9x13 pan's worth too, but then again, those mini-muffin tins are seriously small, so that made me second guess.

    I found here that an 8x8" square pan is equal to 48-64 mini-muffins though. Since the 9x13 pan is larger than that- nearly double- I would probably triple the 36 mini-muffin recipe to be safe. That still sounds kind of off to me though... but I guess if you have extra, you could always make some mini-muffins Stick out tongue

    PS, that recipe looks amazing!!

    Yeah, I keep going back and forth and keep second guessing too!  I need to make a few pans for the exchange so maybe I'll just double the recipe to start with and see how much that makes.  Then I'll be able to guage the rest without over-doing it.  I don't need cookies from the exchange AND brownie bites laying around.  That's too dangerous!  Smile

    And they are SO GOOD.  You should make them!
