Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients and spread in a lightly greased 8-inch square baking pan.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25 minutes.
- Cool and lightly dust with powdered sugar.
Tips & Substitutions
For richer brownies, consider using dark chocolate instead of unsweetened. If you don’t have unsweetened chocolate, you can substitute with 1/3 cup cocoa powder and 2 tablespoons of butter. Ensure you mix the batter just until combined to avoid tough brownies. For added flavor, try adding a pinch of espresso powder or a swirl of peanut butter.
Serving Suggestions
These brownies are delicious on their own but can be served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert. Drizzle with chocolate or caramel sauce for an extra treat. They also pair beautifully with a cup of coffee or milk. For a fun twist, serve alongside Smokey Seafood Dip for a diverse snack platter.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can freeze them. Wrap individual pieces in plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer-safe bag. To reheat, warm in the microwave for about 20 seconds or until just heated through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of flour?
Yes, you can substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend if needed. Ensure the blend contains xanthan gum for the best texture. However, the overall taste and texture may vary slightly from the original recipe.
What can I use instead of eggs?
For a vegan version, replace each egg with 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce or 1/4 cup mashed banana. This will keep the brownies moist but may alter the flavor slightly, so choose a substitution that complements your taste.
How do I know when the brownies are done?
Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the brownies. If it comes out with a few moist crumbs, they're done. If it comes out wet, bake for a few more minutes. Remember, they will continue to set as they cool.
