INGREDEINTS:
For these Made-From-Scratch Brownies you will need to gather a few simple ingredients!
- 1 1/3 cups All Purpose Flour
- 2 cups Granulated Sugar
- 4 Large Eggs
- 3/4 cup Cocoa Powder
- 2/3 cup Vegetable Oil
- 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- 1 Tbsp Instant Coffee
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F/175°C.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, instant coffee, and salt. If you are able, I recommend sifting through a sieve.
- Add the Wet Ingredients: To the dry ingredients, add the eggs, vanilla, and oil.
- Mix the Ingredients: Mix everything together until smooth and well combined.
- Optional Mix-Ins: If desired, fold in the chocolate chips or chopped nuts for texture and flavor.
- Bake: Add the batter to a greased 9x9 baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Be careful not to overbake to maintain a fudgy texture.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. Enjoy with a glass of milk or a scoop of ice cream for an extra treat.

TIPS AND TRICKS:
- Room Temperature Eggs: Ensure you eggs are at room temperature to help the mix more evenly into the batter.
- Do Not Overmix: Overmixing can lead to tough brownies. Mix until the ingredients are just combined.
- Check for Doneness: Start Checking for Doneness: Start checking your brownies a few minutes before the suggested bake time to avoid over baking.
- Add a Topping: Sprinkle a bit of sea salt on top before baking for a delicious contrast to the sweetness or spread a luscious frosting over top!
FAQs:
Can I replace the oil with butter?
