Ingredients for Afterschool Brownies

  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • Cocoa
  • Oil
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • Nuts

How to Make Afterschool Brownies

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 13x15 inch jelly roll pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, sugar, and eggs. Beat until well combined.
  3. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  8. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting and serving. Dust with powdered sugar or add your favorite frosting for an extra special treat!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
