Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Butter
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 cups Granulated sugar
- 4 Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Once fully melted, remove from heat and stir in the cocoa powder until smooth.
Transfer the cocoa mixture to a large mixing bowl. Add the granulated sugar and whisk until well combined and glossy.
Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Then stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, mix together the flour and salt. Gradually fold this dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
If using chopped nuts, gently fold them into the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs attached.
Remove from the oven and allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Optionally, dust the cooled brownies with powdered sugar before slicing into squares.
Serve and enjoy your rich, fudgy Lion House Picnic Brownies!
