Baking A Better Brownie

When I don't have time to make a brownie from scratch, but I want a brownie mix to taste like it's homemade I use the recipe that follows. Although I specify Ghirardelli Brownie Mix you can use a mix that you like better. Just make the following changes. 1. Substitute an equal amount of melted butter at room temperature for the vegetable oil. 2. Toast the walnuts in advance. 3. Add 1/2 teaspoon instant expresso granules. 4. Add 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips. And most importantly, 5. Don't overbake!!

- 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together water, egg, melted butter and instant coffee granules.
- 3
Add in brownie mix and stir together until batter is completely wet.

NOTE: How to toast walnuts. Heat oven to 300 degrees. Coarsely chop walnuts and put in a single layer on a baking pan. Bake for 4-5 minutes. Remove the nuts from the oven and pour them onto a plate (paper plate is good) so that they don't continue to bake in the hot pan. Allow to cool thoroughly before using.

Homemade Fudgy Brownies Homemade Fudgy Brownies
If, like me, you prefer fudgy brownies to cakey brownies, then this is the brownie recipe for you. I will never make boxed brownies again and this recipe is very simple to make. They are dense, chewy and delicious! If you're a true chocoholic, opt for the milk chocolate frosting on top of the finished brownies....I think they're pretty amazing without the frosting though, with a bowl of vanilla bean ice cream 😁 Recipe source : Sallysbakingaddiction.com Christina -

My Trial & Error Brownies My Trial & Error Brownies
I’ve been on a brownie kick lately. I have been on the app trying brownie recipes since I can never find the same recipe twice. This is the recipe I pieced together based on those searches. I also have cinnamon in this recipe because I like my chocolate to have a little heat. If you aren’t interested in heat, then don’t worry about it. Blair Webster-Urton -
