Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Grease an 8x8 or 9x9 inch square pan.
- In a medium bowl, combine baking mix, sugar, and cocoa; mix until blended.
- Add melted butter, eggs, and vanilla; mix well.
- Stir in chocolate chips.
- Spread batter into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool completely before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of espresso powder to the batter. If you don't have buttermilk baking mix, you can substitute with regular all-purpose flour combined with baking powder and a pinch of salt. To enhance the chocolate experience, try folding in some chopped nuts or using dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet. These brownies are also great topped with a drizzle of caramel for extra indulgence.
Serving Suggestions
These brownies are perfect on their own, but you can elevate them by serving with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. For a delightful twist, drizzle some chocolate or caramel sauce on top. They also pair beautifully with a cup of coffee or a glass of milk. If you’re craving something fruity, serve alongside a slice of Pineapple Cream Cheese Cake for a contrasting flavor experience.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you prefer them chilled, you can refrigerate them for up to a week. To reheat, simply microwave individual pieces for about 10-15 seconds. This will help restore their soft, gooey texture, making them just as delicious as when they were freshly baked.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of baking mix?
Yes, you can use a gluten-free baking mix if you need a gluten-free option. Just ensure the mix is suitable for baking and adjust the liquid content as necessary, as gluten-free mixes can sometimes absorb more moisture.
How can I tell when the brownies are done baking?
The brownies are done when a wooden pick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Keep in mind that they will continue to cook slightly as they cool, so it's better to err on the side of slightly underbaking than overbaking for the perfect fudgy texture.
Can I freeze these brownies?
Absolutely! Once cooled, wrap the brownies tightly in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil before placing them in the freezer. They can be frozen for up to 3 months. To enjoy, simply thaw them in the refrigerator overnight or at room temperature for a few hours.
