Here's a simple way to make delicious homemade brownies:
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2/3 cup cocoa powder (sifted if lumpy)
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (sifted if lumpy)
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
- 3/4 teaspoons sea salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup canola oil or extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Equipment:
- 8x8 inch baking pan
- Cooking spray
- Parchment paper
- Rubber spatula
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Lightly spray an 8x8 inch baking pan with cooking spray. Line it with parchment paper and spray the parchment paper as well.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the sugar, flour, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, chocolate chips, and salt.
- In a larger bowl, whisk the eggs, oil, water, and vanilla extract together.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, folding until just combined. The batter will be thick.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and use the spatula to spread it evenly and smooth the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with just a few crumbs attached.
- Let the brownies cool completely before slicing and serving.
Storage:
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze them for up to a month. This recipe yields fudgy, gooey brownies with rich chocolate flavor. Enjoy your homemade treat! If you'd like a simpler or a slightly different recipe variation, let me know. I can provide those too! This method is adapted from a detailed recipe from Love and Lemons.
