Brownies I<\/p><\/div>\n

Total time:\u00a0 Approximately 1 hour.<\/p>\n

Maybe it was the Peter Seller’s clip<\/a>, maybe it was how easy the pita bread<\/a> was, or maybe it’s just because I want a brownie recipe for when that pouch of yummy mix<\/a> is not on sale… Whatever the case may be, I’ve lately been inspired by Michele at Veggie Num Nums<\/a> to bake a lot of things.<\/p>\n

3\/4 cup + 2 T all purpose flour
\n1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
\n2 large eggs
\n3\/4 cup sugar
\n1\/3 cup vegetable oil
\n2 T butter
\n1\/2 tsp instant coffee (optional)<\/p>\n

Preheat oven to 350.<\/p>\n

In a small microwave safe bowl, melt butter and chocolate chips. Stir every 20 seconds.<\/p>\n

Mix everything up, mix in chocolate, scrape into a greased pan. And to quote Michele “Bake for 25-30 minutes, rotating the pan from front to back halfway through. Brownies should be slightly firm to the touch and a crust should form on the top. A toothpick will not come out clean.”<\/p>\n

I baked for 14 minutes, rotated, then baked for another 14 minutes.<\/p>\n

Today, I am using 1\/2 tsp of instant coffee from a packet of Starbucks Decaf Italian Roast VIA<\/a>.<\/p>\n

These were crisp around the edges, nice and chewy. The texture was spot on what I like in a brownie. I felt there was a sort of aftertaste of sugar, but that might have been from inhaling…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
