Who doesn’t enjoy a good brownie? Most do. My husband loves brownies. When I vowed not to buy boxed I wasn’t sure we would ever eat brownies again. Ha. I called up my mom and asked her if it was possible to make homemade brownies (my mom is an amazing cook and I owe my skill and love for cooking\/baking to her). She said, “Of course! I have a recipe for brownies you can have.” S.W.E.E.T.<\/p>\n

At Christmas I made a couple gifts that was this homemade brownie mix inside a jar with instructions for the wet ingredients to mix in. People liked them. So now I am sharing the recipe with you, of course!<\/p>\n

\nAbby loves baking…she’s putting the sugar in and usually doesn’t spill except for the time I step back to take a picture…<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nSticking her finger in the bowl…<\/div>\n

\nPinch of salt<\/div>\n

\nSomeone loves tasting while baking<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nSpinning the bowl<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nmmm hmm. She bakes with her Grandma a lot and learned to lick the spoon.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nOnly takes a few minutes to mix together.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nEvidence…<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n

\nThe best part? I made them healthier but you can’t tell a difference! They taste the same as always! And of course the fact that there’s no processed chemicals \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n

\nHomemade Brownies<\/b><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n1\/4 cup butter<\/div>\n
\n1\/4 cup plain yogurt <\/div>\n
\n1 cup sugar<\/div>\n
\n1 egg<\/div>\n
\n1\/2 cup cocoa powder<\/div>\n
\n1\/2 cup all-purpose flour<\/div>\n
\n1 tsp vanilla<\/div>\n
\n1 tbsp water<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n1. Cream butter, yogurt, sugar, egg, vanilla (The yogurt is a sub for another 1\/4 cup butter. That’s almost a 400 calorie save!).<\/div>\n
\n2. Add cocoa powder, flour, water. <\/div>\n
\n3. Grease 8×8 pan and pour brownie batter in.<\/div>\n
\n4. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n*If you want to fill a 9×13 pan then double the entire recipe. The yogurt substitute was great because it made the batter just like a box batter and wasn’t as heavy as normal with all butter, which allowed less water in the mix.<\/div>\n
