Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix self-rising flour, sugar, and cocoa together in a bowl.
- Add eggs, oil, vanilla, and nuts to the mixture.
- Stir with a spoon until combined; do not whip with a mixer.
- Pour the batter into an ungreased 9 x 13-inch pan.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30 minutes.
- Check if the center is soft; it may be slightly gooey.
- Let the brownies cool before slicing and serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For an even richer brownie, consider adding a cup of chocolate chips or swapping half of the oil with unsweetened applesauce for a healthier twist. Make sure not to overmix the batter to keep the brownies moist and fudgy. If you want a deeper chocolate flavor, increase the cocoa to 6 tablespoons. Remember, every oven is different, so keep an eye on your brownies as they bake.
Serving Suggestions
These moist brownies are delicious on their own but can be elevated with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce. They pair beautifully with a glass of cold milk or coffee. For a fun twist, serve them alongside Alexis' Brown Sugar Chocolate Chip Cookies for a delightful dessert platter.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can refrigerate them for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months. To reheat, place a brownie in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds, or enjoy them cold for a fudgy treat.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use all-purpose flour instead of self-rising flour?
Yes, you can substitute all-purpose flour, but you'll need to add baking powder and salt to mimic self-rising flour. For every cup of all-purpose flour, add 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and a pinch of salt.
How can I make these brownies gluten-free?
To make gluten-free brownies, substitute the self-rising flour with a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend that includes xanthan gum. This will help achieve the right texture while keeping the brownies moist and delicious.
What kind of nuts are best for this recipe?
Walnuts or pecans work wonderfully in this brownie recipe, adding a nice crunch and flavor. If you prefer, you can skip the nuts altogether for a nut-free version, or try adding dried fruits or chocolate chunks for extra texture.
