These decadent saucepan brownies are so good, they are always gone in a flash. However, they are SO EASY to make, I confess to making them more than once a week sometimes when we are craving something warm and chocolatey.
If you are needing an easy dinner party dessert or a fun afterschool baking project with your kids, this recipe for decadent saucepan brownies is perfect. My kids love to measure out the ingredients and stir the batter. (And, of course, lick the batter after the brownies go in the oven…)
These decadent saucepan brownies are great on their own or as the base for a beautiful brownie Sundae.
Ingredients
1 1/2 c sugar
1 c butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 eggs
1 c flour (I used cup4cup gluten-free flour)
1 c unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 c mini chocolate chips or your favorite chocolate chunks
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9×9 or 8×8 pan.
In a medium sized saucepan, combine the sugar and the butter over medium to medium low heat. Stir with a wooden spoon or heat resistant spatula while the butter melts.
Once the sugar and butter are combined, add the vanilla. Stir. Set aside to cool for a couple of minutes. (I usually preheat the oven and grease the 9×9 brownie pan at this point.)
Add 3 eggs. Stir well to combine.
Add 1 cup flour, 1 cup cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Stir well.
Add the chocolate chips or chocolate chunks and spread in a greased 9×9 pan.
Cook at 350 degrees for about 30 to 35 minutes.
Cool and then cut into squares while they are a little bit warm. Enjoy!
