Pamela's Brownie Recipe

There’s something magical about brownies. They’re rich, chocolaty, and oh-so-satisfying. When I think of a perfect day, I often picture a warm brownie fresh from the oven.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup melted butter
  • 4 ounces unsweetened cocoa
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup brewed espresso or strong coffee
  • 1 cup Pamela's Pancake & Baking Blend
  • ½ cup roughly chopped nuts optional
  • ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips optional

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • 8x8-inch baking pan

Method
 

  1. Before you start, make sure you have everything you need on your countertop. It’s always easier to bake when you’re not running around searching for things!
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your brownies bake evenly. While the oven heats up, you can get everything else ready.
  3. Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper. Greasing helps with easy removal, especially when that gooey goodness emerges from the oven.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and melted butter until combined. Add the eggs, and beat well. Mix in the vanilla extract and brewed espresso. The aroma of espresso will transport you to a cozy café.
  5. In another bowl, combine the unsweetened cocoa, cocoa powder, and Pamela’s Pancake & Baking Blend. Mix well to ensure there are no lumps.
  6. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until combined. Be gentle; you want to avoid overmixing. If you’re feeling adventurous, add in your chopped nuts and chocolate chips now!
  7. Pour the batter into your prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for about 25-30 minutes. You'll know they’re done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes before lifting them out using the parchment paper. Let them cool completely on a wire rack. Trust me, you'll want to savor this moment; the aroma is divine!

Notes

  • Use Room Temperature Eggs: This helps them incorporate better, leading to a softer texture.
  • Don’t Overbake: A few moist crumbs are a sign of perfect brownies.
  • Let Them Cool Completely: Waiting may be the hardest part, but it helps them set properly.
  • Experiment with Flavors: Consider adding a pinch of sea salt or even a dash of peppermint extract for a twist.
  • Cut with a Warm Knife: Run your knife under hot water, dry it, then cut for clean edges.
