Fudgy Brownies

By Addie

There's no brownie recipe or mix I've ever tried that's better than this!
It's so easy besides—you can mix it in one bowl in just a few minutes. My husband's grandmother passed the recipe on; now our son makes these brownies for after-school snacks. We have four children. My husband's a dairy farmer, and I'm involved in helping to advise a 4-H club.

Ingredients

• 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 cups sugar
• 3/4 cup baking cocoa
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup chopped nuts
• 2/3 cup vegetable oil
• 4 eggs, lightly beaten
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 1 cup chopped nuts, optional

Preparation

Step 1

In a bowl combine first six ingredients. In another bowl combine oil, eggs and vanilla; add to dry ingredients. Do not over mix. Spread in a 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Sprinkle with nuts if desired. Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Yield: about 24 brownies.

Oh yum...this recipe is perfect! The brownies have a really nice and chewy consistency!

I've used this Fudge Brownie receipe since I received my first Taste of Home dessert book many years ago. It the only receipe that I will use when making Brownies. Yummy, it's the BEST!

TERRIFIC! We LOVE these! So quick and easy to prepare and they taste great! Not too sweet either :)

Excellent texture and so easy. I reduced sugar to 1 1/2 cup and it was still sweet enough. Definitely a keeper.

A great recipe, so easy, and makes a big batch for everyone! I added a layer of raspberry filling and they were wonderful.

Made these last night. Very good. Everyone loved them. I didn't add the nuts and they were still great.

Loved it! Loved it! It's so easy too! I'll be making this again! :-)

Great recipe! Moist and delicious! Didn't add nuts as my children are not fans. Will definitely make again! Thanks.

These turned out delicious, and they were really easy!

So easy that my culinary challenged husband made it! Didnt taste bad either. :)

I dont buy a mix anymore. These are Great!

I made these for my husbands birthday. He said they were the best I ever made! Will definately make these again. Thank you!

Wow! Why buy the mix when these are just as easy. Will make again!

My granddaughter made these while staying with us and they were very very good. Will definately make these again. Thank you for the recipe.

Easy and tasty!

These brownies were delish! I halved the recipe using an 8x8 square pan and baked them for about 25 minutes. I used whole wheat flour instead and sprinkled walnuts only over half of the top but used the whole amount of nuts for the mix, which was very thick!

These are very good brownies. They aren't super sweet like some others. This is a keeper!!

Oh, my goodness, these are yummy!!!

Best brownies I've ever had and they are very quick and simple. Thanks for the great recipe!
