Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Melt butter on stove.
- Remove from heat.
- Add sugar, eggs, vanilla, flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt to the melted butter.
- Mix with a spoon until well blended.
- Pour the batter into a greased and floured 13 x 9-inch baking pan.
- Sprinkle chocolate chips and nuts on top.
- Bake at 350°F for 30 to 35 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For an extra fudgy texture, try using half butter and half coconut oil. If you don't have chocolate chips, you can substitute with chopped chocolate or even cacao nibs for a richer flavor. Ensure you mix the ingredients just until combined to avoid tough brownies. If you like a nutty crunch, consider adding walnuts or pecans, which complement the chocolate beautifully.
Serving Suggestions
These brownies are delightful on their own, but you can elevate them by serving with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce. They pair wonderfully with a glass of milk or a rich coffee. For a more indulgent dessert, serve alongside a slice of My Grandmother'S Rolls for a comforting sweet spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, refrigerate them for up to a week. To reheat, place a brownie in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds for a warm, gooey treat. You can also enjoy them chilled straight from the fridge.

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. To balance this, consider adding an extra tablespoon of butter or a splash of milk to maintain moisture. Keep in mind that the flavor will be slightly nuttier, which can be a delightful twist.
How do I know when the brownies are done baking?
To check if the brownies are done, insert a toothpick in the center. If it comes out with a few moist crumbs, they're perfect. If it comes out clean, they may be overbaked. Remember that the brownies will continue to cook slightly after being removed from the oven due to residual heat.
Can I freeze the brownies for later?
Absolutely! To freeze the brownies, let them cool completely, then wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and place in an airtight container. 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.
