Homemade Recipe for Brownies
This easy recipe for brownies is my favorite! It's a homemade recipe for brownies that is easy enough that I justify whipping these up over the boxed variety.
If you usually make boxed brownies these are going to blow you away. They're just a little more rich and indulgent. They are definitely something that I like to make from scratch.
The great thing about making brownies from scratch is that you can control the ingredients which is important if you have allergies to worry about or if you just like to keep away from added preservatives and such.
What do I need to make brownies from scratch?
This recipe uses flour kosher salt, unsweetened cocoa powder, butter, white granulated sugar, eggs, and pure vanilla extract.
For the supplies portion you will need a mixer, spatula, mixing bowls, an 8×8 glass baking dish, non-stick spray, and some parchment paper or foil to line the pan.
As always, you can find the full amounts and ingredients list at the bottom of this post.
I have found that by lining my baking dish with foil, it’s much easier to remove the brownies when they have cooled. I just pick up the edges of the foil and lift up the whole thing from the pan.
Then I can cut them easily and there is no pan to wash. I do lightly spray the foil though, so the brownies do not stick.
How to cool brownies fast:
You can always remove them from the pan after 5 or 10 minutes with the foil or parchment lining and place them on a cooling rack. This is a great way to cool brownies fast!
I usually don't like to throw them into the fridge because it can heat up the fridge and make the brownies a little harder so I avoid that method if at all possible.
