Brownies - Tips and Recipes

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!
