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 the brownies can be removed easily once baked.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the boxed brownie mix with 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour. This addition helps to slightly firm up the brownie texture.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Crack the 2 large eggs into the bowl, then pour in the 1/4 cup vegetable oil and 2 tablespoons of water. Mix all ingredients thoroughly until the batter is smooth and homogenous.
- Pour and Spread the Batter: Pour the prepared batter into the greased or lined baking pan. Use a spatula or spoon to spread the batter evenly across the pan for uniform baking.
- Bake the Brownies: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center— it should come out with a few moist crumbs but not wet batter.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, cut into 16 squares and serve for a delightful chocolate treat.
Notes
- For fudgier brownies, slightly reduce the flour by 1-2 tablespoons.
- You can substitute vegetable oil with melted butter for a richer flavor.
- Adding a handful of chocolate chips or nuts before baking can add extra texture and taste.
- Make sure not to overbake to keep the brownies moist and soft.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
