Easy From-Scratch Brownies

1. 1

   Note: these brownies taste extra rich with Saco Premium Dutch Cocoa and-don't knock it 'til you try it!-finely-ground oat flour (available at any health food store). Try these warm, with vanilla ice cream and hot fudge. I often make a double batch because they go so quickly.

2. 2

   You won't need a mixer to make these brownies. A fork works just fine!

3. 3

   Preheat oven to 350u00b0F.

4. 4

   Grease an 8-inch square baking pan.

5. 5

   Melt butter. Add cocoa; stir until well-combined.

6. 6

   Add sugar and stir until well-combined.

7. 7

   Add eggs and beat into the mixture.

8. 8

   Stir in vanilla (I like to use an extra teaspoon), flour, and salt; be careful not to overbeat.

9. 9

   Add nuts, chocolate chips, etc.-or leave as-is.

10. 10

    Spread in the pan, bake for approximately 20 minutes. You want an inserted toothpick to come out clean, but you want them nice and gooey.

    Enjoy!
