Fudgy Chocolate Brownies
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter soft
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup milk
- 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup flour
- 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9x13 aluminum baking pan with parchment paper. Spray the pan where the parchment paper does not cover with cooking spray. Set aside.
-
In a medium bowl, combine the butter, sugar, eggs, milk and vanilla extract together until well combined. A whisk works well for this.
-
Sift in the flour, cocoa powder and baking powder. Fold in the dry ingredients until just combined. You don’t want to over mix the batter.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan.
-
Cook in the oven for about 40 minutes, until the edges start to get crunchy and start to pull away from the side of the pan.
-
Allow the brownies to cool completely before lifting the brownies out of the pan using the parchment paper. Place on a large cutting board and use a serrated knife to cute your brownies. You can also place the brownies in the freezer for about 20 minutes to firm up before cutting.
Recipe Notes
Tip: Cut the brownies into squares and wrap them individually in plastic food wrap before storing in a freezer safe bag. Take the brownies out as you need them.
