One pot brownies from scratch

One pot brownies from scratch

Behold brownie lovers! You do NOT have to sell your soul to the devil to get a perfect homemade brownie anymore (or sign up for a cooking class for that matter). After many, and I really mean many, tries and fails, I have found a foolproof recipe for finger-licking brownies that is so easy even a twelve year old can make it (this is not a scientific fact!). And the best part – you need one pot and one pot only. Read along!

I fell in love with brownies a couple of years ago at a nice restaurant where they were served warm, topped with a vanilla ice cream drizzled with caramel sauce. It was a some what fancy restaurant so I didn’t dream of getting the same flavor at home. That didn’t stop me from trying (of course) and I went ahead and bought every single brownie mix from the shelf. Those were ok but i didn’t want ok. I wanted amazing! I started experimenting with various recipes (God bless Pinterest!) and discovered I have a tiny flaw – I can NEVER follow a recipe through. Whether I change the ingredients or skip a step, I have to change it a little bit or else… I had to make three batches before I could write it down since I kept forgetting or adding stuff (not that my boyfriend complained – he ate them all!). What I love the most about these brownies is they are not cake-y nor they are fudgy, they are right there in the magnificent middle. Anyways, feel free to change it a bit yourself, it is your soul you’re feeding after all!
