Brownies

Why use a box mix when making brownies is SO easy? It's easier than cookies where you have to cream butter, sugar, and eggs. It's easier than cake where you have to alternate wet and dry and be careful with the mixing. Brownies are just easy.

Easy Brownies

INGREDIENTS

1/2 cup butter, melted

1 t vanilla or instant coffee granules dissolved in 1 T hot water 

2 eggs

1 cup sugar

1/4 cup cocoa powder

1 cup flour
Non-stick cooking spray
Any goodies you like in a brownie

1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2) Whisk butter, vanilla and/or coffee, and eggs together.
3) Stir in sugar.

4) Mix in cocoa powder thoroughly. Gently stir in flour until just incorporated.

5) Spray 9x9 baking pan with non-stick cooking spray. Spread brownie batter evenly into pan. (This is the time to add whatever goodies you like in brownies. Chocolate chips, nuts, marshmallows, or caramel sauce are all good stir-ins. You can go crazy and add peanut butter cups, cheesecake filling, or cherry pie filling. This time I added some warmed up fudge topping. It made chocolatey, gooey swirls in the brownies.)

6) Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 30 minutes, until the middle is completely set.

If you like frosting on your brownies, let it cool completely and frost. Sprinkle with nuts or rainbow sprinkle.


I love brownies. They are such versatile comfort food.
