Simple Homemade Brownie Recipe from Scratch
Equipment
- 1 Propane Oven
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
- 2/3 cup cocoa powder
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tbsp water
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt omit if using salted butter
Optional Ingredients
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat your propane oven to 350°F. While the oven warms, grease a 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and granulated sugar. Beat in the eggs one at a time, and then add the vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined, removing any lumps.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Pro-tip: Don’t over mix the batter as air bubbles may cause the brownies to become more cakey than fudgy.
- Optional: For an extra burst of flavor and texture, add in optional ingredients like chocolate chips or walnuts into the batter.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs. Remember, a slightly under baked brownie is the key to a fudgy texture!
- Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, AND then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled completely, cut into 16 squares and indulge in the chocolaty bliss. Add a scoop of ice cream for brownie a la mode!
