Brownie recipe for homemade brownies
 
Does anyone have a recipe for good, quickly made homemade brownies? Please send me a message. Thanks.

For a quick mix I just buy a box mix. Just as good if made from scratch!

Oh yes, I will gladly share a recipe. I had found one for homemade brownies that was quicker than a box mix and my hubby really liked them. Well, I have lost the recipe!! I am in trouble, LOL! They were really good too.

Here is a very simple and good recipe I go to time and time again. Actually stirred them up yesterday afternoon for supper and sent the leftovers home with DD and her family. It makes a 9x9 pan. I make the whole recipe in the pan I melt the margarine in.
Brownies
1/2 cup margarine, melt.
Add 6 teasp cocoa and stir.
Allow to cool down a bit.
Add 1 cup sugar and 2 eggs, beat well
Add 1 tsp vanilla, dash of salt and 1 cup flour.
Mix well.
Pour into parchment lined pan.
Bake 325 no more than 20 min. Depending how fudgie you like them.
Sometimes I ice them or sprinkle with icing sugar. Yesterday they were plain and great! (you can add chopped nuts or raisins if you like)
If I want to bring them up a notch, when there is a couple min of baking time left I put a layer of either large marshmallows (halved) or minis on top. Place back in the oven for a minute or two until they puff a bit.
Take out and when cool frost with chocolate icing, they are good.

These both look tempting!

We use the Dump Bars recipe all the time. (I use 2/3 cup cocoa) You can also try peanut butter chips, or mint flavored chips on top. No need for frosting, and they stay moist and yummy.

Try this one....the brownie recipe sure is a keeper and awesome when used in the Death By Chocolate..

I generally prefer to use the Ghiradelli Brownie Mix. The Duncan Hines & Betty Crocker are okay.

I would only make brownie mix brownies until I had these:

BROWN SUGAR BROWNIES
By: Land O Lakes
Preparation time: 15 min Baking time: 25 min
Yield: 24 brownies

1 cup firmly packed Light Brown Sugar
1/2 cup LAND O LAKESŪ Butter, softened
2 eggs
2 (1-ounce) squares unsweetened baking chocolate, melted
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts


Heat oven to 325°F. Combine brown sugar and butter in large bowl. Beat at medium speed until creamy. Add 1 egg at a time, beating well after each addition. Add melted chocolate; continue beating until well mixed. Reduce speed to low; add flour. Beat until well mixed. Stir in nuts.

Pour batter into greased 8-inch square baking pan. Bake for 25 to 28 minutes or until brownies just begin to pull away from sides of pan. (DO NOT OVERBAKE.) Cool in pan; cut into bars.

Nutrition Facts (1 brownie): Calories: 130, Fat: 9g, Cholesterol: 30mg, Sodium: 40mg, Carbohydrates: 12g, Dietary Fiber: 1g, Protein: 2g

To use chocolate chips instead of unsweetened chocolate
reduce sugar by 1/4 c to 3/4 cup
reduce butter by 2 tbsp to 6 tbsp
use 1 c chocolate chips

Can be doubled to use 9x 13" pan. Bake 35 min.

The secret seems to be the brown sugar and the butter. I haven't tried substituting cocoa for the unsweetened chocolate.

I am going to give the brown sugar brownies a try. They are easy enough to do, too. Thanks for sharing.
