Brownies!!!!!

 

My name is Missy and I am a Choco-holic!! I am not ashamed. And when I'm craving chocolate nothing satisfies me as much as a Brownie does. This recipe makes a delicious brownie. It's chewy and chocolatey. You can keep it simple or get fancy. Try swirling in some peanut butter or Nutella. I swirled in a few tablespoons of cookie butter.

I also browned the butter. If I can give you any advice, BROWN THE BUTTER!!!! This gives the brownie such a toasted carmely flavor.

Brownie Ingredients:

1/2 cup brown butter

1 cup white sugar

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

Frosting
3 tablespoons butter

1 cup powdered sugar

1 tablespoon honey 

5 tablespoons coco powder 

3 tablespoons chocolate syrup 

1 tablespoon vanilla extract 

1 teaspoon salt 

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 8 inch square pan with parchment paper or grease and flour the pan.

In a large saucepan, brown 1/2 cup butter. Remove from heat, allow to cool for at least 10 minutes or 5 minutes in the freezer.

In a bowl mix 1/3 cup cocoa, 1/2 cup flour, salt, and baking powder. 

In a separate bowl mix the cooled brown butter, stir in sugar, eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla.

Add the flour/coco mix stir to combine. Make sure to scarp down the sides to make sure all ingredients are well combined.

Spread batter into prepared pan.

Bake in preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes. Do not overcook.

Frosting Directions 

In a small saucepan over medium heat melt the butter

After butter is melted and the honey, chocolate syrup, coco powder, and powdered sugar. 

Stir until all ingredients are combined. Turn off heat. 

Add vanilla and salt. Stir until combined. 

While brownies are still warm, pour icing over them. 

Let brownies cool completely before cutting. 

Double the recipe if you want a thick layer of icing.

I have added Oreos to this brownie recipe. Add half the batter to the prepared pan then add full size Oreos on top of the batter. Cover with the rest of the batter. After you add the icing add crush Oreos pressing them lightly on the icing.
