Best Old Fashioned Cocoa Brownies Recipes

OLD FASHIONED BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Grease a 9 x 12 pan (I find ceramic works awesomely) with oil or butter. Set aside.
• Combine melted butter, sugar and vanilla in large mixing bowl.
• Add eggs one at a time; mix each in evenly before adding the next one.
• Add cocoa in 1/4 cup measures, dumping into a sieve and shaking into bowl to ensure no cocoa-y lumps. Make sure cocoa is well integrated before adding next 1/4 cupful.
• Add flour, baking soda and salt. Mix well.
• Add nuts and chocolate morsels and work well into batter.
• Pour batter into pan and shake, shake, shake to make sure everything settles.
• Bake for 30 minutes or until brownies begin to pull away from sides of the pan.
• Cool at least 20 minutes before trying.
• Top should be crunchy and brownie should be warm and gooey.

OLD-FASHIONED COCOA BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Sift the cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt together into a large bowl. Add the coffee and corn syrup. Blend with a wire whisk until the mixture is smooth and glossy. Add the applesauce, sugar, and vanilla extract. Whisk until completely blended. Add the flour. Fold in the yogurt with a wooden spoon just until it is incorporated.
• Fold the batter into an 8-by-8 inch nonstick baking pan. Bake for about 30 minutes, until the mixture is just beginning to separate from the edges of the pan and is firm to the touch in the centre.
• Remove from the oven, place on a rack, and cool completely in the pan, about 2 hours.
