Fudgy Brownies

For those of you who like your brownies rich and fudgy, these Fudgy Brownies are for you! They’re thinner brownies as opposed to thicker, cake-like brownies—and they’re dense, moist, and very chocolatey! I found a brownie recipe a few months ago in the Jan/Feb issue of Better Homes & Gardens, and I tweaked it just a little, using unbleached flour instead of bleached, and light olive oil instead of vegetable oil. You could also use coconut oil or canola oil.

These brownies are easy to make and you bake them in an 8 x 8″ pan. So next time you get a chocolate craving, think about treating yourself to these! 🙂

FUDGY BROWNIES by NancyC, adapted from Better Homes & Gardens
Makes an 8 x 8″ pan

1/2 cup all-purpose unbleached flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup butter
3 Tablespoons light olive oil, coconut oil, or canola oil
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla

Preheat oven to 350˚F. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, extending paper over edges. Coat paper with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.

In a small bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.

In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine butter and oil. Cover bowl with a paper towel and microwave until butter is melted, about 1 minute. Then add in both sugars to this mixture and stir for 1 minute. Next, add eggs and vanilla, whisking well until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.

Add the egg/sugar mixture into the flour/cocoa mixture, stirring just until moistened.

Spoon batter into your prepared pan and bake at 350˚F for 20 minutes, until top is puffed and brownies appear just set. Cool brownies completely in pan on wire rack.

Use parchment paper edges to lift out uncut brownies from pan. Cut into squares. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
