Ingredients
Instructions
- Dump all ingredients into a mixing bowl and combine thoroughly.
- Pour the batter into a greased baking pan.
- Bake in a 300°F oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow to cool before cutting into squares.
Tips & Substitutions
For an extra fudgy texture, consider substituting half of the oil with unsweetened applesauce. If you don't have dry milk, using an equal amount of powdered coffee creamer works well. When mixing, be careful not to overmix the batter to keep brownies moist. Experiment with adding chocolate chips or nuts for added flavor and texture, similar to the variations found in American recipes.
Serving Suggestions
These brownies are delicious on their own, but you can elevate the experience by serving them warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or alongside a drizzle of chocolate sauce. They also pair wonderfully with a cup of coffee or a glass of milk. For a festive touch, serve with Mary Mccrank'S Fruit Salad Dressing for a refreshing contrast.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to four days. For longer storage, you can refrigerate them for up to a week. To reheat, microwave individual squares for about 10-15 seconds for a warm, gooey treat. Alternatively, you can warm them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour?
Yes, you can substitute whole wheat flour for all-purpose flour, but the texture may be denser. Start with a 50/50 mix for the best results, and adjust as needed. Whole wheat adds a nutty flavor and increases the nutritional value, aligning with healthier baking options.
What should I do if my brownies are too dry?
If your brownies turn out dry, it may be due to overbaking or not enough fat in the recipe. To salvage them, try serving with a scoop of ice cream or drizzling with chocolate sauce to add moisture. For next time, check the brownies a few minutes early to ensure they remain fudgy.
Can I freeze brownies for later use?
Absolutely! Brownies freeze well. Wrap them individually in plastic wrap and place them in an airtight container or freezer bag. They can be frozen for up to three months. When ready to enjoy, thaw them in the refrigerator overnight or at room temperature for a few hours.
