Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Batter
- 4 eggs
- ¼ cup butter
- ⅔ cup semisweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup brown sugar, firmly packed
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup Bisquick baking mix
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- ¾ cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350ºF (175ºC). Lightly spray a 9-inch cake pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Melt Chocolate and Butter: In a large bowl, combine the semisweet chocolate chips and butter. Microwave at 50% power for 1 minute, then stir. Repeat microwaving and stirring in 1-minute intervals until the mixture is completely smooth. Let it cool slightly to avoid cooking the eggs in the next step.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: Whisk the eggs, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract into the melted chocolate and butter mixture until fully combined.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Gently fold the Bisquick baking mix into the wet ingredients just until incorporated. Avoid overmixing to maintain a tender brownie texture. Stir in the chopped walnuts if using.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared 9-inch pan and spread evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
Notes
- Do not overbake to keep brownies moist and fudgy.
- Chopped walnuts add great texture but can be omitted for nut-free brownies.
- Use a toothpick or cake tester to check doneness starting at 30 minutes.
- Allow brownies to cool in the pan before cutting for cleaner slices.
- Bisquick baking mix acts as a shortcut for traditional flour and leavening agents.
