Here is a brownie recipe you will love and be making it often. It is so simple—takes no more time than a brownie mix and is soooooo much better. This recipe was shared with me about 30 years ago by my minister’s wife, Betty.
When my grandson was living with us, he had a couple of friends who would remind me if I had not made the brownies for a long time.My grandson prefers his with no nuts or other toppings–but most people enjoy the nuts or other additions. Customize to what you and your family love.
The recipe I am giving you is for a 13×9 pan. Recipe can be halved and baked in an 8 or 9 inch square pan—which is perfect for giving as a gift. I have given mine at Christmas, for birthdays and even taken them to new neighbors.
HOMEMADE BROWNIES
1 cup butter melted
2 cups sugar
3 heaping tablespoons cocoa
4 eggs
1 ½ cups self-rising flour
Chocolate chips if desired (about ½ cup)
Nuts, M&M’s, White Chocolate Chips, Peanut Butter Chips (whatever you would like to add into the batter)
In a bowl mix sugar and cocoa.
Pour in melted butter and mix.
Stir in eggs.
Add self-rising flour and mix.
Stir in chocolate chips. Add nuts or other extras now—or bake a few minutes and then sprinkle nuts or other extras on top of brownies.
Pour batter in 13×9 pan that has been sprayed with Pam. Bake at 350—start checking after 30 minutes and continue baking until done.
These brownies freeze well. Once I was trying to diet and they were just too much of a temptation—so I froze them. Found out a few days later, they were just as good directly from the freezer. So much for my diet!!
The picture of my brownies (at the top) were one I made for a Fall Bazaar. I put on a variety of toppings—nuts, peanut butter chips and M&M’s. Something for everyone!
