Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 box of brownie mix (18-20 ounces)
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper to ensure easy removal of the brownies after baking.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the entire box of brownie mix with 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour. Mixing these dry ingredients helps improve the brownie texture.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Crack 2 large eggs into the dry mixture, then pour in 1/4 cup vegetable oil and 2 tablespoons of water. Stir thoroughly until the batter is smooth and fully combined with no lumps.
- Pour and Spread the Batter: Transfer the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula to ensure uniform baking.
- Bake the Brownies: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. Test doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; if it comes out with a few moist crumbs attached, the brownies are ready.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, cut into 16 squares and enjoy your homemade brownies.
Notes
- For easier cleanup and perfect edges, lining the pan with parchment paper is recommended.
- Check your oven temperature with an oven thermometer for best results.
- Do not overbake; brownies should be moist and fudgy rather than dry.
- Optional: Add nuts, chocolate chips, or a swirl of caramel to customize your brownies.
