DIY Brownie Mix

 I love a good ole boxed browie mix.  Aldi does a fine job with theirs.  You can make your own brownie mix to keep on hand. It's super easy!  This would make a good gift for kids to make for teachers.

DIY Brownie Mix

1 cup granulated sugar

⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted

½ cup all-purpose flour

¼ teaspoon kosher salt

¼ teaspoon baking powder

Mix together and store in a container until ready to use.

When ready, add "wet ingredients"

½ cup (1 stick) melted butter, cooled

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preheat the oven to 350°F and spray an 8×8-inch pan with non-stick spray.

Sift (or whisk) together granulated sugar, cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder in a large bowl.

Melt butter and set aside to cool.

In a medium bowl, beat two eggs and vanilla extract with a hand-held mixer.

Add the egg mixture and melted butter to the dry ingredients. Stir until just incorporated.

Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20-22 minutes.

 

HOW TO GIFT BROWNIE MIX

Sift together all dry ingredients. Place into a jar or airtight container.

On a gift tag or label write the wet ingredients and quantities and then directions. “Melt butter and set aside to cool slightly. In a medium bowl, beat two eggs with the vanilla. Add in and gently stir dry ingredients. Pour the melted butter into brownie mixture and mix until just incorporated. Spread batter in a prepared 8-inch square pan and bake for 20-22 minutes at 350 degrees.”
