Prep Time: 10 mins

Cook Time: 25 mins

Total Time: 35 mins

Serves: 12

 

Ingredients

• 1 cup flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 cup cocoa powder
• 2 cups white sugar
• 1 cup melted butter
• 3 eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

 

Directions

1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degree F.
2. Combine the dry ingredients (flour, cocoa, sugar & baking powder) in a bowl.
3. In a separate bowl whisk together the wet ingredients (eggs, melted butter and vanilla). 
4. Pour wet ingredients into dry and mix until just combined. The mixture should have a smooth consistency.
5. Grease a 9×13 baking dish/pan and dust it with some flour or cocoa.
6. Pour the brownie batter and spread it out.
7. Bake it in the oven for 20-30 minutes. It’s done when a toothpick inserted in the tallest part comes out clean.
8. Let it cool for about 30 minutes before serving. 

 

 

 

Notes

• Gluten Free: Use your favorite gluten free flour mix in place of the all purpose flour and add 1 tsp xanthum gum.
•  Fudgy Brownie: Bake for a lesser time. Over-baking will cause them to become hard and dry.
• Thick Brownie: Use a smaller pan size.
• Variations: You can add chocolate chips or nuts into the mixture. Although I find vanilla ice cream the best combination for brownies, you can use may ice cream flavors. I cut the recipe in half for the amount that I had made.
