Best Ever Homemade Brownies

Prep Time: 5 mins

Cook Time: 45 mins

Serving: 16 brownies

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar

• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour

• 2/3 cup cocoa powder

• 1/2 cup powdered sugar 

• 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

• 3/4 teaspoons  salt

• 2 large eggs

• 1/2 cup melted butter, canola oil or extra-virgin olive oil

• 2 tablespoons water

• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence 

Instructions

• Preheat the oven at 325°F. Take an 8x8 inches baking dish and spray it lightly with a cooking spray and line with parchment paper. Spray the parchment paper as well. 

• Take a medium-sized bowl, combine all the dry ingredients i.e. sugar, flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, chocolate chips, and salt.

• In a large bowl, whisk eggs, oil/butter, water, and vanilla together.

• Combine the wet and dry mixture and stir lightly. 

• Transfer the batter in the pan. If it's thick use a spatula to smoothen the top. 

• Bake for almost 42 to 48 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let it cool completely before slicing. Store in an airtight container or pack in personalized cake boxes if you want to take it to your friend's or relative's house. These tempting brownies also freeze well and can be stored at room temperature for 3 days.

Frosting (if required)

To make the chocolate frosting for brownies, combine 3 tablespoons of softened butter, 3 tablespoons of cocoa, 1 teaspoon of honey, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 cup icing sugar. Stir until the mixture gets smooth. Frost when the brownies are still warm. You may also add some sprinkles, shredded coconut, buttercream, chocolate chips, or colorful bounties to make them more attractive. In the case of frosting, the brownies are needed to be handled with great care. A wholesale cake box is a good choice to maintain their delicacy and texture. However, you may also use cake boxes with windows to let the receiver see-through the packaging to tempt him more.

Tips to get Best Results

• It's better to pull out the brownies from the oven a little earlier than to leave them for too long. Overheating might make them dry. 

• As you are making the brownies from dark chocolate, so it is recommended to use milk chocolate chips in this recipe. This makes a good contrast between milk and dark chocolate taste. 

• Chopped nuts like pecans and walnuts can be added to the recipe to enhance the taste. 

• People often confuse in between a glass pan or a metal pan. You can use either. To get crispier crusts and edges use a metallic pan. Sometimes for a glass pan, you need to add 4 to 5 minutes in your baking time. 

• If your brownies are consumed at the same time it's fine. Otherwise, the packaging is the main key to store the brownies for long. It helps in retaining their taste. If you have made them for an event say wedding which is going to held the same evening, as the brownies cool, pack them in wedding cake boxes or favor packaging whatever you like. 

This limits down the contact with air and prevents them from drying. Silver cake boxes or gold cake boxes are also perfect to be used as wedding favors. The people who adopt baking as a hobby or as a business bulk buy cake boxes from a wholesale manufacturer. However, if you want to store for long or freeze them, an airtight container is the best option.
