Ingredients
– 1 box of brownie mix (any flavor you prefer)
– 1/2 cup of vegetable oil
– 2 large eggs
– 1/2 cup of chocolate chips (optional but highly recommended)
– 1/2 cup of chopped nuts (optional)
– 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (optional)
– A sprinkle of sea salt (for that perfect balance)
Equipment Needed
– Mixing bowl
– Wooden spoon or spatula
– Baking sheet
– Parchment paper (optional, but it helps with easy cleanup)
– Measuring cups
– Whisk (if you’re using whole eggs)
Step-by-Step Instructions
First, start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). I find that preheating while I prepare the mixture allows for a smoother transition from mixing to baking. In my mixing bowl, I combine the brownie mix, vegetable oil, and eggs. If you’re using vanilla extract, this is the perfect moment to add it in. The mix will be quite thick, so don’t be alarmed! It’s just the nature of brownie batter. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
