Weird Brownie Surface

[alvs87PH]

This does not look good at all. Please help, I don't know why everything just gathered in the middle.

I didnt do anything different. Same measurements and process. This is the first time this happened. Usually the top woild just be nice and even, now it's looking like there's a peanut island in the middle.

Any thoughts? Thank you in advance.

@alvs87PH,
Hello, sorry to hear about your brownie problem.

Not knowing your recipe in mixing method it’s difficult to troubleshoot.

But from the looks of it if I were to venture a guess I would say you have a issue with separation of the fats.

A separation of fat can be caused by a number of reasons:

too much fat in the recipe

butter and chocolate melted at too high a temperature for too long

fat in butter not emulsified as they are melted

I agree that seeing the recipe would help, could you share a link?
