I must admit I have never made homemade brownies. I have always run to the store and bought a box of brownie mix and made it. This last time I ran to the store to buy brownie mix, I was floored by the amount it went up. I wondered if I could make brownies that tasted great. So, I set out for the perfect brownie recipe. I found
Laura from Heavenly Homemakers recipe and decided to give it a try- it looked incredibly easy. I didn't have all the same ingredients, so I did substitute:
Chocolate Chip Brownies (without the chocolate chips)
1 stick butter, melted
1 C sugar
1/4 C Cocoa powder
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
3/4 C Flour
1/2 C chocolate chips- which I left out (Laura makes her own chocolate chips- how cool is that)
Stir in melted butter, sugar & Cocoa. Mix in eggs and vanilla. Stir in flour. Fold in chocolate chips. Bake in 8X8 pan at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.
I doubled this recipe for a 9X13 pan and baked for 30 minutes.

| The finished product- looks so good |
I was so excited about how easy it was to make and how yummy it looked after baking. It was hard to let it cool. My whole house smelled of chocolatey goodness- Mmmmm:) I had to taste test it to make sure if was safe to eat- at least thats my story:) It was sooo good. The boys could hardly wait until dessert time. They gave it a huge thumbs up and in the recipe box this recipe goes to make often:)

ReplyDeleteOh, homemade brownies are so good. I especially love them with nutella on top. And they're really so easy...makes the box mix seem unnecessary!
