Our family loves a good brownie. They're delicious, simply, easy to pack and quick to whip up. Here is our favourite recipe, which I have edited over time. If you aren't into moist gooey brownies, just take one of the edge pieces and find a lovely chocolaty brownie with just the right amount of crisp.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup butter
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
- ¾ cup cocoa
- 1 ¼ cups plain flour
- 2 cups sugar
- ¼ tsp salt
- 4 eggs
Method:
Preheat oven to 180°. Grease a large slice pan. Melt butter. Mix together cocoa and sugar, then add melted butter. Add eggs and vanilla, stir again. Now add flour and salt (nuts
can be added at this point). Spread mixture evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 45-50 mins.
*Note: If you bake them a little bit less, they will be really moist and will stay fresh for about a week in an airtight container.
*P.S. you can also take out about a third of the sugar without noticing a difference, which is what I do these days.

So while I love to cook, baking hasn't been my strong suit. I have greatly improved, though, over these last few years! However, pancakes, chocolate chip cookies and brownies have not really been on my successful baking list by any means! This recipe looks super easy...I may actually be able to pull off some brownies! Thanks so much for sharing this.

DeleteThese brownies really are super moist and gooey, which is probably my favourite part about them.
