directions

  • Set oven on 350.
  • Coat 11 1/2 x 7 1/2 glass pan with margarine or butter (or slightly larger for thinner brownies*might have to adjust cooking time*).
  • In a saucepan or glass bowl melt margarine.
  • Mix in by hand eggs and vanilla, then flour, salt, cocoa and sugar till moistened.
  • With mixer on low/med beat just till mixed.
  • Don't overbeat.
  • Fold in nuts and/or chocolate chips if desired.
  • Pour into prepared pan and level with spatula or spoon.
  • Bake 25-30 minutes, or test with toothpick.
  • I like mine gooey in the middle.
  • Cool and frost if desired.
  • (Try my Fluffy Butter Cocoa Frosting) Cut into desired servings.

Questions & Replies

  1. Is the oven temperature in celsius or fahrenheit?
     
  2. Is it fine to use something else other than a glass pan? Also, could I line it with wax paper instead of coating with butter/margarine?

  1. These are the best brownies I have ever made. I usually buy M&M Brownies cause I could never find a recipe I really liked. The are the ultimate. I made the first batch on sunday and I made a double batch tonight. Hope it doesn't go from the lips to the hips. Thanks Lana!
     
  2. These were excellent. I subbed melted butter for margarine since I don't buy margarine. Since my cocoa was a little lumpy, I sifted all the dry ingredients together first. Then I just hand mixed everything in a single bowl, the batter was smooth, glossy and easy to handle. I made them in mini-muffin pans (it made about 40 "two bite" type brownies) and had to adjust the bake time to about 17-18 minutes to account for the difference in pan. Note: I sprayed my non-stick mini muffin pans with cooking spray first and had no problem getting them out while they were warm, I suspect that if they cooled in the mini muffin pan they might be a problem to get out. I topped them with chocolate frosting, just delicious. They went very quickly, everyone was saying how good they were. Thanks for posting these, ~Lana~.
     
  3. These were delicious! Though I made a few major modifications - 1/2 cup melted butter and 1/2 cup coconut oil, cut sugar to 1/2 cup (we don't like super sweet), and added about 3/4 cup walnuts and 3/4 cup chopped fudge with macadamia nuts (leftover from a Christmas gift). Yum yum!!
     
  4. Came out very good BUT there is way too much cocoa in these,,,unless of course, you like dark chocolate. Next time I will lessen the cocoa and add a bit more sugar.
     
  5. This is my favorite brownie recipe! They are so fudgy, moist and gooey. Everything I want in a brownie. I use gluten-free flour and they turn out great. Butter (not margarine) is a must! I use unsalted butter and increase the salt to 1 teaspoon.
