I am a sucker for a good brownie recipe. I like consistently good brownies. I like it to have a flaky crust. I like it chewy inside. I like to taste the chocolate. I wanted the best homemade BROWNIE RECIPE and this is it! I use this recipe in my Brownie Cookies and Cookie Dough Brownie Cake!
What is Brownie Mix?
When it comes to baking I also love convenience. And being able to dump stuff in a bowl and make magic. So this is my attempt to capture the ease of a box brownie mix but without the other icky stuff.
Homemade Brownie Mix Uses
This recipe tastes amazing and easily lends itself to adaptations. For instance, you can add any sort of chocolate chip, white chocolate chip, M&M’s, Nutella, etc. You can also easily double the recipe or pair the brownie mix with frosting.
One thing to note, this brownie mix recipe is not huge. It yields 9 brownies. (Most people don’t have five kids like me and prefer “normal” size pan of brownies.)
Another bonus? There are only three “wet” ingredients.
Butter, eggs, and vanilla.
And the brownie recipe can be made in one bowl too.
How awesome is that?
These BROWNIES ARE AMAZING folks!
I think these brownies are really good, but I especially loved them when paired with a sweet or tart fruit such as raspberries.
And stacked in a pile of three and covered in chocolate sauce.
That’s just how I roll folks. That’s just how I roll.
Here is the perfect chocolate frosting made just for these brownies! My secret ingredient is the perfect complement to the perfect homemade brownie recipe.
Did you happen to see this?
To make this brownie I used the same recipe above then added chocolate chips to the recipe as well as a couple on top after I took them out of the oven.
Here is my BIG SECRET DON’T TELL ANYONE TIP: Remove them 5-10 before they are done. This is not recommended if you are opposed to eating brownie batter!! But if you love ooey gooey chocolate brownie amazingness then it is worth trying. 🙂
The best of the best! These brownies are always delicious!
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup (40g) unsweetened cocoa powder sifted
- 1/2 cup (64g) all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 cup (113g) butter melted then cooled
- 2 eggs room temperature
- 1 tsp. McCormick vanilla
-
Sift together all dry ingredients. Place into a jar or airtight container.

On a gift tag or label write the wet ingredients and quantities and then directions. "Melt butter and set aside to cool slightly. In a medium bowl, beat two eggs with the vanilla. Add in and gently stir dry ingredients. Pour the melted butter into brownie mixture and mix until just incorporated. Spread batter in a prepared 8-inch square pan and bake for 20-22 minutes at 350 degrees."
Sounds good, but video shows chocolate chips going into batter, but I don’t find a mention of chocolate chips in the actual recipe.
It’s optional.
Hi I wanted to make a big batch of just brownie mix and save it for later, but I had a question on when I got to make the brownies with everything dry being mixed up how do I know how much of the mix to use?
Hi, Alexis! I work with iambaker and am happy to help with questions. If you follow the recipe as written, the dry mix will make one full batch of brownies. If you adjusted the dry ingredients, you would have to adjust the wet ingredients the same way. I hope this helps, and have a great day!
How long does the dry brownie mix keep?
Thank you!
Hi, Auden! I work with iambaker and am happy to help with questions. The dry brownie mix will last up to six months in an airtight container. Have a great day!
can I use self rising flour instead, in this brownie mix?
So simple love making method
Do you have an egg substitute that works in brownies? I have tried applesauce, EnerG and neither work. Just hoping someone has had some success as our family has an egg allergy. Thank you!
I made these a few weeks ago when I saw the recipe. I’ve never made brownies that didn’t come in a box, I was surprised how easy it is to make them from scratch and how much better they tasted than a box mix.
OMG, these are so simple and so amazing. I added a handful of milk chocolate chips to the butter when I melted it as part of the “wets” and added dark chocolate chips to the batter. If I could give this recipe more than 5 stars I would. Best ever!! LOVE LOVE LOVE
These are my absolute favorite brownies! We’re currently making brownie bites in my daughters cupcake maker. Yum!
It has become one of my family’s favourites. Just love the awesome tasting brownies. Thank you for sharing the recipe.
Love your recipes! Thank you!
Made these brownies for the first time with grandson. They were amazing! We also added chocolate chips. For the top we chunked up a Hershey candy bar and added a few sprinkles, after all it was his birthday! He gave them five stars. I think he was spot on! Thanks for sharing recipe.
Wonderful to hear, Sue!
Browies were great
Is there a less sugary option? I find the recipe having too much sugar, 1cup sugar then just 1/2cup flour.
Those look good but I am partial to cake brownies instead of gooey brownies. What do I need to do to make it more like cake brownies for me but some family like the gooey so I want to make both. Thanks.
Thank you for you’re recipes. Cannot wait to try them. ❤️
Looks very good and yummy.
