First, let me say "THANK YOU!!" for all the sweet, compassionate messages for our girl; Nikita.
She seems to be getting a little better every day since she's been home, but is still not out of the woods. She's been doing lots of good sleeping. So, today I decided to do some baking to keep myself from hovering over her. I decided to make brownies. Brownies make everything better, right?? Sorry about the pictures, I just grabbed my point and shoot.
Brownies:
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup flour
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup cocoa
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/4 tsp salt
- nuts (optional) I used pecans cause that's what I had.
- cho chips (optional) I used milk.
These silicon collapsible measuring cups are one of my favorites:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
In a bowl mix the oil, sugar and vanilla.
Mix in the eggs.
In a separate bowl, mix the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt. Then ad gradually into the oil & sugar mixture until combined.
Mix in the nuts and cho chips.
Spread into a greased 8x8 baking dish.
Bake for approx 30 mins or until the edges pull away and the center is set.
Cool, and pig out! These got thumbs up all around. Kita, did not have any. :-P
Yummy, chocolatey, nutty, gooey goodness.
Do you guys like the edges or center brownies?? Drew likes edges and I like center... works out pretty well!
Hope you have a great weekend!!
XOXO

Anytime is a good time for brownies. I'm an edges girl all the way! Quick question...where did you get your silicone measuring cups? I MUST have them!
ReplyDeleteHey Meg! What a great idea - comfort food always helps!! I'll just eat the whole pan's worth, thank you, in one sitting... That's why I stay away from baking nowadays, lol!

Your brownies look delish and I'm glad that Nikita is feeling a bit better each day. I like a bit of both. :)
ReplyDeleteI was just about to make brownies or cake this afternoon. I take your post as a sign I need to make brownies. Glad kitty is better!
ReplyDeleteI like the center. It's mushier.
i like 'em like me, crispy around the edges. although, i can totally get into a big gooey center piece warm with some vanilla ice cream. the thing is, you always, always, always need nuts in brownies.
ReplyDeleteglad to hear the kitty's home, hope things continue to progress well. xo
