Brownies

I know I need to get back to posting more healthy recipes....I tend to deviate sometimes, as I enjoy posting from scratch recipes, too. Here's one for brownies (from food.com). You can add anything you want to these (chocolate chips and marshmallows are a fav....so is fresh mint from the garden), and they beat a boxed mix any day. We all are going to indulge now and then, so you might as well indulge on something you've made yourself. It tends to taste better! Enjoy!

The patty on these "burgers" is actually a brownie!



From Scratch Brownies

• 1/2 cup butter, melted
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 tsp vanilla
• 1/2 cup flour
• pinch of salt
• Any addition you would like!

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease an 8" square pan.

2. In a large bowl, mix together melted butter and cocoa until cocoa is dissolved. Add sugar, eggs and vanilla and mix well.

3. Finally, stir in flour and salt and mix just until you no longer see flour. Add your additions at this point, if desired.

4. Spread batter in pan and bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes. Do not overbake!

5. Let cool, cut into squares and ENJOY!
