Brownie in a Bag

I’ve tested many one-bowl brownies and none came near to topping this one. Not even by a close margin. This is moist, fluffy, super simple and delicious. It works great for cupcakes too. And great if you’re short on eggs, as it only uses two.

Contains: Gluten, Wheat, Egg

Directions

  1. Mix flour, cocoa, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt directly in the baking pan with a fork. For cupcakes, you can shake these ingredients together in a two-gallon ziptop bag.

  2. Add coffee, eggs, oil, and vanilla (in your bag or pan) and mix.

  3. For cupcakes, snip the corner of the bag and divvy into muffin holders.

  4. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes.

Tips:
ADD SOME KICK! Mix the options below into your tried-and-true cupcake batters for a flavor boost. CHOCOLATE CHIPS – recommended for brownies; NOUGAT CHIPS – recommended for brownies; CRAISINS – recommended for mocha; OATS – recommended for mocha.

SWITCH IT UP! My super talented friend Cyporee Knopfler once inspired this piece of genius: Spice up old favorite cake recipes by swapping an interesting flavor when a recipe calls for vanilla extract. This simple change will make a huge difference! Here are some ideas: Rum extract; Strawberry extract; Coconut extract; Banana liqueur; Pistachio extract; Caramel extract or liqueur; Raspberry extract or liqueur; Orange, lemon, and/ or grapefruit zest for a citrus cake; Or throw in a packet of flavored Jello into any vanilla cake.

This recipe calls for 2 cups water?? Sounds like too much....

Bruchy said that the recipe is correct and it always comes out great for her! You can always start with a cup of water and slowly add more if you're scared of the batter being to runny.

This was moist and yummy but not brownies. It should be called chocolate cake in a bag.
