Homemade Brownies
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
To Bake the Brownies:
Add the dry mix to a bowl
Mix in:
2 eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil (or melted butter for richer flavor)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Stir until smooth and glossy — the batter will be thick and chocolatey.
Pour and spread the batter evenly into your prepared pan.
Bake for 22–25 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter!).
Cool completely before slicing for clean edges — or dig in warm if you're impatient like us! 😄
Optional Add-ins:
1/2 cup chocolate chips
Chopped nuts
Swirl of peanut butter or Nutella
