Brownies. They can be simple or complex, fudgey or cakey. They can be frosted or unfrosted. They can have nuts or they can be nut-free. How do you like your brownies? I have simple needs. I just need my brownie here, right in front of me on a plate and ready for the taking.
Simply Organic has a super-simple brownie mix, only requiring that I add 2 eggs and melted butter. Vegan? No worries, just use 1/4 cup soy butter and powdered egg replacer to replace the eggs. The batter was thick and was tough to spread into a greased 8 x 8 inch pan. I had to show the batter who was boss! The box recommends baking at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick or a knife comes out clean. My oven took a little longer, but it may have not been up to temperature when I put the brownies in.
Ingredients: Organic Fair Trade Certified cane sugar, organic brown rice flour, organic Fair Trade Certified cocoa powder (processed with alkali), organic potato starch, natural flavor (maltodextrin, enzyme-modified cocoa butter), xanthan gum, sea salt, baking soda.
Once the brownies were out of the oven, I let them cool in the pan on a wire rack for several hours. Then, the fun part!
These brownies did not disappoint! I considered frosting them with cream cheese frosting, but decided to try them “naked” first. I am glad I did! These were definitely more on the fudgey side, my favorite! I ended up spreading a touch of almond butter on top for a sinful dessert treat!
