"Boring" Brownies

A super simple and easy to make brownie recipe that is truly anything but boring.
Servings 1 9x9" Pan
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 35 minutes
Cooling Time 15 minutes
Total Time 1 hour

Equipment

  • 1 9x9" Baking Dish
  • 1 Mixing Bowl
  • 1 Rubber Spatula
  • 1 Parchment Paper
  • 1 Sifter

Ingredients

  • 2 Eggs
  • Cup Brown Sugar
  • ¾ Cup Flour
  • ½ Cup Butter Melted
  • ½ Cup Cocoa Powder
  • 1 Tsp Vanilla Extract

Mix-Ins (See Post for Options)

  • ½ Cup Dried Cherries
  • ¼ Cup Chocolate Chunks

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x9" baking dish with a bit of butter, and line the bottom with parchment paper. I like to leave enough to hang over the sides, to easily remove the brownies later.
  • Sift together your flour and cocoa powder, and set aside.
  • Combine your melted butter, brown sugar, and vanilla in a mixing bowl.
  • Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing them well each time.
  • Add in the cocoa and flour and mix well. Try not to over-mix, but mix until there are no more visible clumps of dry ingredients.
  • Fold in your mix-ins.
  • Spread the batter evenly on the bottom of your baking dish. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Baking longer will make the edges chewier.
  • Let cool for about 15 minutes, and you should be able to lift the brownies out using the parchment paper.
