Description
Discover simple hacks to transform boxed brownie mix into rich, fudgy, bakery-style brownies.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 standard boxed brownie mix
- 2 large eggs
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 stick melted butter, slightly cooled
- 2 tablespoons milk (instead of water)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- Optional: 1/2 cup chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
Instructions
- Preheat the oven according to the box instructions and line your pan with parchment paper.
- Whisk the dry brownie mix with espresso powder and sea salt.
- In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolk, milk, vanilla, and melted butter.
- Combine the wet and dry ingredients until just mixed, folding in chocolate chips if using. Do not over mix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Tap the pan on the counter to release air bubbles.
- Bake until the edges are set and the center feels slightly underbaked when touched. A toothpick should come out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes, then chill in the fridge for 20 minutes for cleaner slices.
Notes
For added flavor, experiment with peanut butter swirls or chocolate chips. For a more homemade taste, use brown sugar, evaporated milk, or a splash of heavy cream.
