Easy Brownie Recipe

Dump + Stir + Bake = Delicious!

 

The easiest brownie recipe you’ll ever make.  Just dump, stir, and bake!  This easy brownie recipe produces a fudgy, moist brownie, brimming with chocolate goodness.  You can even add some chocolate chips or nuts to this batter, if you like, after you stir to combine all the other ingredients.

This recipe was inspired by Alice Medrich’s Best Cocoa Brownies, from her book Bittersweet.  I’ve changed the recipe process to make it extremely easy for even a non-baker to do, omitting the higher baking temperature and the ice water bath afterward.

As mentioned in the recipe, you can use natural or Dutch-process cocoa powder.  Dutch-process cocoa has a more mellow flavor, similar to chocolate pudding.  Natural cocoa is more robust and fruity.  I’ve also written an article about the difference between natural and Dutch-process cocoa.
