Jimmy'S Brownies
Indulge in rich, fudgy brownies with a hint of vanilla and cocoa, perfect for satisfying chocolate cravings and suitable for all dessert lovers.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the eggs, sugar, softened butter, cocoa, self-rising flour, vanilla, and salt in the order given.
- Pour the batter into a 9 x 9-inch pan.
- Bake in a 350°F oven for 25 minutes or until done.
Tips & Substitutions
For an extra fudgy texture, try using melted chocolate instead of cocoa powder, or add a handful of chocolate chips to the batter. If you're out of self-rising flour, you can substitute with all-purpose flour and add 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder. Make sure to mix the ingredients gently to keep the brownies from becoming tough.
Serving Suggestions
These brownies are delicious on their own but can be served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert. Consider pairing them with a drizzle of chocolate sauce or serving alongside a slice of Impossible Pina Colada Pie for a tropical twist. Enjoy with a cup of coffee or tea for a cozy afternoon snack.
Storage & Reheating
Once cooled, store any leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can freeze them wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and then in foil for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator and reheat in the microwave for a few seconds for a warm treat.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of flour for this brownie recipe?
Yes, you can use all-purpose flour instead of self-rising flour by adding 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder. This will help the brownies rise while keeping the texture chewy.
How do I know when the brownies are done baking?
The brownies are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. If it comes out clean, they may be overbaked, so keep a close eye on them during the last few minutes.
Can I add nuts or other mix-ins to the brownies?
Absolutely! Feel free to fold in toasted chili pecans or any other nuts, chocolate chips, or even dried fruit to the batter before baking for added flavor and texture.
