Grandma's Homemade Brownies

Yes. The cooking time I think is a typo. I've never baked brownies that didn't take 40-60 minutes to cook. I did these brownies 100% organic. Came out really good. Not the best I've ever tried but pretty close.

I used a tad more vanilla, and subbed half the butter for nonfat 'banilla' yogurt! Mmm. BEST BROWNIES IVE EVER HAD!!! Wasn't hard to stir at all once I added the 1/2 c. butter, and 1/2 c. yogurt. Took longer than 25 minutes, but well worth the wait ;)

This is a great recipe. I did it a little different though. I used 7/8 cup vegetable oil instead of butter. I added 1/4 tsp. baking soda. I only used 2 eggs. I also used 1 cup brown sugar and 1 cup regular sugar. Added some chocolate chips and baked for 28 minutes. They were so good! Making 2 more batches now for our community house dinner my church helps at!!

It's a lot more like cake over brownie. It tastes good though!

Excellent recipe! I added Hershey's chocolate baking melts to it. Fantastic! Also, added 1/2 cup of flour at a time, and melted butter first. Thanks for sharing!

I also added about 1/2 tsp. oil, 1/4 cup milk and 1/4 cup caramel.

These were awesome, very moist and cake like. I put some chocolate chips in mine. So I am baking them to give out to my neighbors for the dessert exchange.

I made these brownies with only one change. I put in a full bag of semi sweet chocolate. It took over an hour but was well worth it.

Soooooo GOOD. I was hesitant to make these but I am glad I did. Even if they are a 'lil cake like.

I modified this a bit after reading some of the reviews. I used 1 c. of cocoa powder, and 1/2 c. melted butter plus 1/3 c. canola oil (in lieu of 1 c. butter only). Baked for 23 min. at 350°F, and they turned out perfectly chocolatey and fudgy! (For anyone who desires a more fudgy rather than cake-like texture...I highly recommend!) This is my new favorite brownie recipe!

This recipe is simple and good. It's not too sweet, and the brownies are fluffy. For extra chocolate flavor, add some chocolate chips! AWESOME!
