Does anyone have an easy brownie recipe? I know Jesse just tried his first brownie this year - a Pillsbury one! I do know someone sent me a recipe using the Quaker Double Chocolate Chunk Muffin (they're really cupcakes IMHO) mix to make brownies, but I lost it.

Canadian specific - if it does require cocoa (i.e., not using the Quaker mix), what cocoa do you feel okay with?

Many thanks and best wishes! [img]http://uumor.pair.com/nutalle2/peanutallergy/smile.gif[/img]

Hi,
Here's my Brownie recipe. I think they're pretty yummy. I'm in Canada and I use Fry's Cocao - which is readily available in store's here. It's manufactured by Cadbury and seems to be labelled well - it states "may contain milk ingredients". Actually this is the brownie recipe on the Fry's Cocoa can.
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup butter
1 cup Fry's Cocoa
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
Stir together flour, baking powder and salt in small bowl. Melt butter in a large saucepan. Remove from heat. Stir in cocoa (I always sift my cocoa through my mesh strainer before adding it to any recipe - gets rid of any lumps). Blend in sugar, eggs and vanilla. Blend in dry ingredients. pour batter into greased 9 by 13 inch baking pan. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until done.
To be completely accurate - the recipe on the can calls for nuts - but I always ignore that (obviously).
Anyway I think these are very good so I hope you try them.

Do you like cake-like brownies or fudgy brownies?
On the back of my Baker's chocolate box, there is a easy recipe for one-bowl brownies. We think it's an awesome fudgy brownie recipe. I can post it later if you'd like. We're not into cake-like brownies.

ryan's mom, what is the difference between the two? [img]http://uumor.pair.com/nutalle2/peanutallergy/confused.gif[/img] The only kind I really know of are the kind that I used to be able to buy at the store and just bought recently from Pillsbury because I think it was a new item here so Jesse got to try his first brownie.
It's for the kids (seriously [img]http://uumor.pair.com/nutalle2/peanutallergy/tongue.gif[/img] ) so either kind would be fine, I think.

I buy the Hershey's baking chocolate (U.S.) and they have a recipe right on the box. Yum! They taste best really fresh.

Easiest brownie recipe I know...
1 box chocolate cake mix
1 small box chocolate pudding
2 cups milk
1 package chocolate chips or choc. chunks
Make pudding according to directions with the 2 C milk. Add cake mix and stir. Add chips. Pour into greased jelly roll pan (10 X 15 inches). Bake at 350 degrees for about thirty minutes. Sprinkle with powdered sugar if you want. YUMMY! [img]http://uumor.pair.com/nutalle2/peanutallergy/biggrin.gif[/img] Kristi

Kristi, excellent! Someone posted awhile back about using cake mix with a can of pumpkin. I tried it and it baked up nicely(without eggs, which is great for us), but I could taste the pumpkin. Not entirely bad, but an odd taste others might notice.
I was wondering if I could sub another thing like applesauce or pudding and your post indicates it works fine. I will try it another time. Thanks! becca

Cindy,
The cake-like brownies have the consistency of regular cake. Fudgy brownies are the melt-in-your-mouth kind of ones--moist, chewy, almost fudge-like consistency. We like those, because in our family, fudge rules over cake any day.

ryan's mom, it feels as though I haven't had fudge since time began, actually, since PA began, only because I could never make fudge myself (ask my Mother about me working over the stove when I was a teenager and how I never got it right [img]http://uumor.pair.com/nutalle2/peanutallergy/eek.gif[/img] , truly), so the fudge style sounds wonderful. Recipe please?

Will post the recipe tomorrow. We've spent the evening finishing up decorating for Christmas and it's bedtime. My poor feet are starting to ache and the bed seems like a very cozy place to me right now.

Try the "Killer Brownie" (I know - in hind site a stupid name but they really are to die for!) recipe I posted in this Forum some time ago. It's based on a mix so it's very easy.
