BAKER'S ONE BOWL Brownies

Brownies have to be one of my all-time favorite thing. And I used to always make them from a mix, until my friend Jessica L. in Washington introduced me to these delicious “One Bowl Brownies” that she made from scratch! I was hooked. I finally realized what a brownie was supposed to taste like! Now I don’t make them any other way!

BAKER’S ONE BOWL Brownies – adapted from the inside recipe found inside of the BAKER’S Unsweetened Chocolate Squares Box

4 oz. BAKER’S Unsweetened Baking Chocolate
¾ cup (1 ½ sticks) butter or margarine (you know I am a butter girl)
2 cups sugar
3 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup flour


1. Preheat oven to 350°F.  Line a 9x9 or 8x8 pan with foil (let sides overhang) and spray with non-stick cooking spray or grease with shortening.
2. Place the butter and chocolate into a large, microwave safe bowl and microwave on high for 2 minutes  When it's done, the chocolate may not all appear to be melted.  Just stir it for a little bit and it will finish melting.  You don't want to over heat it, so don't keep microwaving it!! Add in the sugar and mix well.  Next add the eggs and vanilla and mix until well blended.  Finally, add the flour and mix until incorporated. Spread into prepared pan.
3. Bake 40 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out with just a few crumbs. (Do not overbake.) Cool in pan on wire rack for about 20 minutes, then lift brownies out using foil and set foil on wire rack to continue cooling.

This is my "go-to" recipe when I need a quick something to bake.  I always make sure I have the chocolate squares on hand.  And because it is all mixed in one bowl, there is very little clean up!!

Enjoy!
