Fudgy Cocoa Brownies

 

fudgy cocoa brownies

Category:  Dessert, about 30 minutes

Ingredients:

o   ½ cup butter, melted and hot

o   1 T oil

o   1 1/8 cup sugar

o   2 eggs

o   2 tsp vanilla

o   ½ cup flour

o   ½ cup cocoa powder

o   ¼ teaspoon salt

 

Instructions:

1.     Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

2.     Grease an 8”x8” square baking pan, or line with parchment paper.

3.     Combine butter, oil, and sugar.  Whisk well for about a minute.  Add the eggs and vanilla, beat for another minute (until lighter in color).

4.     Stir in flour, cocoa powder and salt.  Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.

5.     Pour batter into pan, smoothing the top out evenly.

6.     Bake for 20-25 min. 

 

Notes:

The longer they cook, the less fudgy they will be, so just be aware of how you like your brownies.  I’ve substituted gluten free flour and monkfruit and it works pretty well.  Can add in nuts or flavored chips if desired.
