Ingredients

  • 1 stick butter
  • 1 box brown sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 cups self-rising flour
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

  1. Cream all of the ingredients together.
  2. Pour the mixture into a greased 9 x 13-inch pan.
  3. Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes.

Tips & Substitutions

For a richer flavor, consider using brown butter instead of regular butter. If you prefer a less sweet option, reduce the brown sugar by half and add a pinch of salt to enhance the taste. You can also substitute self-rising flour with all-purpose flour and add 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder and 0.5 teaspoons of salt. This recipe is versatile, and you can add nuts or chocolate chips for added texture.

Serving Suggestions

These brownies are delicious on their own but pair wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an indulgent treat. For a delightful breakfast option, serve them alongside Eggs 'N Bologna Breakfast for a balanced meal. They also make a great snack with a cup of coffee or tea in the afternoon.

Storage & Reheating

Once cooled, store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to a week. To reheat, place individual portions in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds, or warm in the oven at 350°F for 5-10 minutes until heated through.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a different type of sugar?

Yes, you can substitute brown sugar with granulated sugar, but the flavor will be slightly different, as brown sugar adds a rich, caramel-like taste. If you want to maintain some moisture, consider using a combination of white sugar and a little molasses.

What can I add to enhance the flavor?

You can enhance the flavor by adding one cup of chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or even dried fruits like cranberries or raisins. Spices like cinnamon or a hint of espresso powder can also elevate the taste of your brownies.

Can I make this recipe gluten-free?

Absolutely! To make gluten-free brownies, substitute self-rising flour with a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend. Ensure the blend contains xanthan gum or add it separately to maintain the right texture. This way, you can still enjoy a delicious treat without gluten.
