easy brownies

These are the most wonderful, yet simple brownies. I love that everything can be mixed in one pot, and takes less than 10 minutes to put together, plus we usually have all the ingredients on hand already.

Moosewood fudge brownies
makes 9-12 brownies

1/2 cup butter
3 oz unsweetened chocolate (or 9 tbsp cocoa powder + 3 tbsp oil/butter)
1 cup lightly packed brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup all purpose flour

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter or spray an 8 or 9 inch square baking pan.

In a pot, melt the butter and chocolate together on low heat, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Add the brown sugar and vanilla and stir until there are no more lumps. Add the eggs and stir until combined. Stir in the flour and mix until the batter is thoroughly blended and smooth.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 20 mins (my oven always takes at least 30), until the brownies are just beginning to pull away from the sides of the pan and are still fudgy in the center. If you prefer more cake-like brownies, bake an additional 5 mins.
