Hello!
Here is my latest creation:
Brownies!
I love brownies. I could probably eat them all day. But that would not be good.
I am so used to making them out of a box, since that's what I've been doing for my whole childhood years. Well. It is so nice to get a homemade one that tastes way better than the out of the box brownies the I am so used to.
The Best Brownies

Bean Town Baker
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
- 2 1/4 cups sugar
- 1 1/4 cups cocoa
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp espresso powder, optional
- 1 Tbsp vanilla
- 4 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 2 cups chocolate chips
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9" x 13" pan
2. In
a saucepan set over low heat, melt the butter, then add the sugar and
stir to combine. Return the mixture to the heat briefly, just until it's
hot, but not bubbling; it'll become shiny looking as you stir it.
Heating this mixture a second time will dissolve more of the sugar,
which will yield a shiny top crust on your brownies.
3. Transfer
the sugar mixture to a medium-sized mixing bowl, if you've heated it in
a saucepan. Stir in the cocoa, salt, baking powder, espresso powder,
and vanilla.
4. Whisk in the eggs, stirring until smooth.
5. Add the flour and chips, again stirring until smooth.
6. Spoon the batter into a lightly greased 9" x 13" pan.
7. Bake
the brownies for about 30-35 minutes, until a cake tester inserted into
the center comes out clean, or with just a few moist crumbs clinging to
it. The brownies should feel set on the edges, and the center should
look very moist, but not uncooked. Remove them from the oven and cool
completely prior to cutting.
8. Enjoy with all your heart.
^ That is a very important step in the process! If you're going to take the time to make homemade brownies, then why not enjoy them!
