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.
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 compliment 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."

For eggless brownies what can be replaced
Applesauce can be used to replace eggs. 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
How long do the cake mixes keep fresh in a glass jar?
Hey could u help me with eggless baking as i rm a vegetarian…
To my Dear Amanda. Absolutely LOVE your Brownie Recipe. The best I have ever made and tasted. Mmm. You are going to think I am crazy but What is the style of the white chair in Mike”s blog in back of his Blackberry Cake which by the way I couldn’t find the recipe. Thank You. From a big Fan of Amanda. I love every recipe you have made. Thank You. Patricia
I stumbled across this recipe and am so happy I did because these are the best brownies I’ve ever made!
Can you use oil instead of butter?
Thankyou so much for putting grams in the ingredients, we dont understand cups as a measurement in the uk!
Looks very good. If I want to make a Brownie Mug in the Microwave, would this mix work?
If I triple the dry mix how much would I use for one batch?
Outstanding! My daughter and I made them this weekend and we’ve already had to make a second batch! That first one didnt last very long.
This is my favorite brownie recipe! It’s simple, and only takes one bowl!! They then out thin, but they stay nice and fudgy! I’ve made this recipe many times and it’s always a hit. I usually have to make 2-3 batches because they’re gone within an hour!
You said this recipe only makes 9 brownies. At my house it only makes 4! And So good that I ate 3. I sprinkled 1/3 cup of chocolate chips and 1/3 cup chopped pecans on top and pressed into batter lightly before baking. I have 2 jars of mix on hand for emergencies.
I substituted the eggs for applesauce but followed the recipe exactly. I had to sop up a lot of butter off the top. Tasted fine, and finally firmed up a little but i must have done something wrong
