Double Chocolate Fudgy Brownies

As nowadays the kids are at home because of quarantine , they want something to eat all the time. I am running out of ideas. Daily I will be googling for new snack ideas and recipes. I got the idea of making brownies as the zoom classes are going on and my son's teacher told him to do a "show and tell" session, where they can make something on their own and show it to their classmates.

I got the idea of making brownies along with him as he likes to cook along with me. He added all the ingredients in the bowl and I mixed and made the yummy, delicious brownies, which require only few ingredients within less time. He enjoys cooking/ baking along with me. When am cooking, he sits on the side to get a better view of what am adding in the dish and asks me the names of the ingredients that goes in the dish.

Here am today with a new post of these brownies, which can be made with your kids during the #stayathome times. They will enjoy it. The name as double chocolate brownies are because, we are adding chocolate in two different ways in the recipe. I hope you will try this recipe and please let me know how it turned out.

Alton Brown’s Gooey Chocolate Brownies

Once in awhile my husband brings brownies from his office, which were heavenly delicious. The brownies which I make at home doesn’t taste like those at all. I wondered how they made these scrumptious brownies and tried making different versions from different blogs and from youtube, but they never tasted like the ones which he bought.

One day as usual when I was watching Alton Brown’s “Good Eats, I saw him making brownies which is one of his all time favorites and noted down the ingredients. Thought to give it a try and made them one day. When I tasted, I realised that these were the brownies which I was trying to prepare.These tasted exactly like the ones which my husband bought from office.

These are the best brownies I have ever tasted. Adding more cocoa powder than the flour was the secret to these brownies. A slight bitter taste of the cocoa powder gives a deep chocolate flavor to the baked brownies. If you want you can sprinkle some cocoa powder on top. Enjoy the tiny square of brownie along with warm milk.

Ingredients:

1. Flour- ¼  Cup
2. Sugar- 1 Cup
3. Eggs- 2 no
4. Butter- ½ Cup
5. Cocoa Powder- ¾ Cup
6. Salt- a pinch
7. Vanilla Extract- 1 tsp

Method:

1. Cream the eggs along with vanilla extract, till creamy and fluffy.
2. Add the butter and sugar. Beat well till everything gets mixed well.
3. Sieve the flour, cocoa powder and salt and add this to the wet ingredients and fold slowly till everything gets blended well.
4. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. grease a baking pan with butter and flour.
5. Pour the above made brownie mixture to the pan and bake for about 35- 40 minutes or till a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
6. Cool on a wire rack and enjoy the delicious brownies.
