Home Made Brownie Mix

Hi everyone and welcome to Cakes & Cocoa!!! I am super excited to share this recipe with you, I am going to dedicate this recipe to my brother Gabriel, whose favorite dessert is brownies. I feel like I owe my wonderful family a good recipe because yesterday I made a batch of crumbly cakey brownies, and while that might be some peoples favorite brownie, these people are all fudge all the way. So after poking around on Pinterest I found a recipe that seems to suit my plan ahead needs, seriously the dry mix is supposed to keep in the pantry for 6 months, yes six!!! So start your ovens it's time to bake.
OK so we are going to start cooking.
(1) Preheat your oven to 350F. , and grease a 8x8 brownie pan.
Unmixed dry ingredients   
(2) Mix 1 cup of sugar, 1/2 a cup of flour, 1/3 cup of coco powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon baking powder in a medium bowl.

Look familiar? this is the brownie mix and it will keep for up to six months in the pantry.
 (3) Mix 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, two eggs, and 1/2 a cup of oil in to the brownie mix.
The wet ingredients  
Note: the mix should look more like a dough than a batter. This is good.
See? This is good.
 (4) Spread the dough in to the greased pan as evenly as posable
If the dough is still bumpy it is fine it should even out a bit as it bakes.  
(5) Cook the brownies for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick or knife inserted in the center of the brownies comes out clean.
Note: Cooked brownies look a little under done but this is good.  
 (6) Allow brownies to cool completely before cutting in to squares.
Like I said these are fudgey brownies so it's best to let them cool first, but if you want to eat the whole pan warm I won't judge ;)

So thank you for reading and I will be back next week with another fun recipe for you to try!!!
