Ingredients
- 1 cup Butter
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 cups Granulated sugar
- 4 Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Once fully melted, remove from heat and stir in the cocoa powder until smooth.
Step 3
Transfer the cocoa mixture to a large mixing bowl. Add the granulated sugar and whisk until well combined and glossy.
Step 4
Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Then stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, mix together the flour and salt. Gradually fold this dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
Step 6
If using chopped nuts, gently fold them into the batter.
Step 7
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs attached.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Step 10
Optionally, dust the cooled brownies with powdered sugar before slicing into squares.
Step 11
Serve and enjoy your rich, fudgy Lion House Picnic Brownies!
