Servings 9
8×8 baking pan, and parchment paper. 1 quart wide-mouth Mason jar.
Brownie Mix:
3/4 cup cocoa powder
1.25 cups sugar can increase sugar to 1 1/2 cups is preferred
1 cup flour
1/8 teaspoon sea salt I love Redmond Real Salt.
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or more if you’re a die hard chocolate fan
Additional Ingredient for Brownie Batter:
1 cup butter Melted. For dairy-free folks, 2/3 cup melted coconut oil
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
To make the brownie mix in a Mason jar:
To make the mix in the jar for gift giving, layer sugar, cocoa powder, flour, salt, and chocolate chips in a 1 quart wide-mouth Mason jar.
Once all ingredients are in the jar, add a two-piece lid, some twine and my printable tags with baking instructions.
To bake the brownies:
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Add melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract to dry ingredients and mix it all up until just combined. Don’t overmix or you’ll end up with tough brownies.
Pour into an ungreased 8×8 pan (parchment paper is your friend and is what I line my pans with) OR a 10 inch cast iron skillet. You can also double the recipe and use a 9×13 pan.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes. Take it out of oven while it still seems kind of gooey in the center, but not raw. The magic happens in this recipe by not over baking them.
Let cool COMPLETELY before cutting. This step is important. If you want amazing gooey brownies, you cannot cut them when they’re still warm or they’ll crumble!
