1 c. plus 2 tbsp. all-purpose flour
2/3 c. packed brown sugar
3/4 tsp. salt
2/3 c. sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
1/3 c. baking cocoa
1/2 c. semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 c. chopped walnuts
3 eggs
2/3 c. vegetable oil
1 tsp. vanilla

Pour the flour into a 1 quart glass jar with a tight-fitting lid. On top of the flour, layer the brown sugar, salt, sugar, baking powder, cocoa, chocolate chips and nuts, do not mix. Cover and store in a cool dry place for up to 6 months. To prepare brownies: In a bowl, beat the eggs, oil and vanilla. Add the brownie mix; stir well. Spread into a greased 9 inch square baking pan.

Bake at 350°F for 34-38 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. Keep a few jars of this mix in your pantry to mix up a pan of brownies in a snap. They are easier for kids to make also, and make great gifts.
