There is nothing quite like a good brownie to follow a delicious meal. Actually, a good brownie is good anytime, especially with a scoop of your favorite ice-cream! While it is easy to make brownies from a readymade mix in a box, why not take it to the next level and make them from scratch? It is an easy process and the payoff is definitely worth it.
I enjoy baking different deserts and meals from scratch. It is very satisfying to put a variety of ingredients together and watch them become a delicious dish as they combine together as one. It is equally enjoyable to make modifications to the recipe and experience the different tastes that develops.
This brownie recipe uses 9 ingredients including: sugar, flour, baking powder, salt, cocoa powder, butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and walnuts. The walnuts are optional. You can leave them out or you can replace them with pecans if you prefer. Which ever you decide it is sure to be a hit with your family.
