Hands Down - Best Brownie Recipe Ever

CHALLENGE: I challenge you to try this Best Brownie Recipe Ever. You won't be sorry if you are a true brownie lover.

This is my favorite brownie recipe. I am not sure why it is so much better than the rest that I have tried, maybe its because you change the temperature of the oven three times. I really don't know. I found this recipe over 20 years ago in an old army wives cookbook. I can't find that cookbook anymore, but I saved the recipe all these years.

How to prepare the best ever brownie recipe

Simple, Quick and Easy!

Preheat oven to 300 degrees

Melt the butter and cocoa together. Mix all the other ingredients with the butter and cocoa. When it's smooth and all mixed up, put it in a 10 x 13 pan.

Cut when cool.

Bake 10 minutes at 300 degrees
Bake 10 minutes at 325 degrees
Bake 10 minutes at 350 degrees

Sometimes I cook it a little less the last ten minutes to make the brownies a bit more gooey.

    This is a wonderful recipe. But, obviously, it was one I made before I started eating a whole food, plant based diet. I might have to revamp it to fit my lifestyle now. Thanks for visiting!

    Brownies and chocolate chip cookies are in a tie for the best things in life. Thanks for the recipe.

    I agree. You can put chocolate or gravy on just about anything and I will eat it.

Baking Tools

My very favorite baking tool.....

9-Piece Nested Bowl Set
I have had this set of bowls for 20 years and have never broken one. They are not heavy, but they stand up to my knocking them around. I love them because there are 9 different size bowls. I don't have to look for another bowl when I need one, they are all right there.

Tools I use every day.....
