Description

Discover the best Lunch Lady Brownies recipe—rich, fudgy, and packed with nostalgic flavor. Perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale

    • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted

    • 2 cups granulated sugar

    • 4 large eggs

    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

    • 1 cup all-purpose flour

    • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

    • 1/2 teaspoon salt

    • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

    • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)


Instructions

    1. First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan with butter or line it with parchment paper.

    1. Next, in a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until smooth and well combined.

    1. Then, add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

    1. After that, in a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.

    1. Subsequently, gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

    1. If you prefer, fold in the chopped walnuts for a bit of crunch.

    1. Once done, pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.

    1. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Be sure not to overbake if you want them to stay fudgy.

    1. Finally, allow the brownies to cool in the pan before cutting into squares. Serve and enjoy!
