Brownies - Tips and Recipes

Quick and Easy Brownies

Oven: 350°

Ingredients

  • 1/2 Cup Butter
  • 6 Tbsp. Cocoa
  • 2 Tbsp. Oil
  • 1 Cup Sugar
  • 1/2 Cup Flour
  • 1 tsp. Baking Powder
  • 1 tsp. Vanilla
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 Cup Chopped Nuts (optional)

Directions

Melt butter in medium sauce pan over low heat. Remove from heat and add cocoa and oil; stir. Add sugar and flour; stir after each addition. Add vanilla, baking powder and eggs. Add chopped nuts if desired. Pour into greased and floured 9x9x2 baking pan and bake for 25-30 minutes. Brownies are done when a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool slightly and cut into 16-24 pieces.

I often bake these in a 8x12 pan so the brownies come out thicker. They are real moist. My hubby can eat a pan by himself!

I've been reluctant to share this family secret but have thought it was the least I could do after gleaning so many great recipes from this site. My apologies to my sister Erin the Caterer as this has become one of her signature sweets. My family is "NUTS" about these.

  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter (do not substitute)
  • 2 squares unsweetened chocolate
  • 1 tsp. real vanilla
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1 cup miniature marshmallow
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Directions

Melt butter, chocolate chips and chocolate and set aside to cool. Beat eggs until thick and lemon colored (most important part) Add sugar gradually while beating. Add cooled chocolate mixture and vanilla. Gently fold in flour, marshmallows and nuts. Pour into well greased 9 x 9 inch pan and bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes. Easily doubled for 9 x 12 inch pan. Oh My these are so-ooooo good!

1/3 butter creamed
add:
3/4 sugar
1/2 honey or light corn syrup
One at a time beat in
2 tsp. vanilla
2 eggs
Mix and add to the rest of the ingredients
1/2 c. flour
1/3 c. Hershey's chocolate
1/2 t. salt
1 c. nuts
Bake at 350º for 20-30 minutes

Different colored M&M's are pretty in brownies. You can color coordinate them for the holiday you're preparing them for. Example: red & green for Christmas, red for Valentine's Day, etc.
