I love a good easy boxed brownie, however with this homemade brownie mix I no longer have to have boxes on hand!
Why I love Homemade Brownie Mix!
Brownie mix is created with a few basic baking staples! Making it a super easy (and cost effective) homemade baking item! I love that I can customize the mix to whatever I want, have cleaner ingredients, and you know exactly what’s in your brownies.
What’s in Brownie Mix?
- Flour – regular all purpose flour is best. Bread flour will result in a much chewier brownie.
- Cocoa Powder – this is one of my favorite ingredients to switch up! You can really change up the flavor of your brownies depending on what kind of cocoa powder you add here. One of my favorites to add is black cocoa powder (which is what I included in mine). It adds in a rich Oreo flavor to your brownies!
- Sugar – we are using a combination of powdered and granulated sugar. You can swap for all granulated sugar if you prefer.
- Chocolate Chips – again! This is another great spot to customize your brownies. Milk, dark, white, whatever you favorite chocolate chips are add them in!
- Salt – don’t skill out on the salt. It helps to balance out the sweetness in the brownies and really helps you be able to taste the chocolatey goodness.
- Baking Soda – many brownie recipes don’t include baking soda, however I’ve found even for a fudgy brownie I like to add in a touch of baking soda. If you like a fudgy brownie add in just 1 teaspoon of baking soda, if you are like me and like a cakey brownie then add in 3 teaspoons.
How to Store Brownie Mix
Grab yourself an airtight container and plop in the mix. I have a canister that I store my brownie mix in. HOWEVER, I also love to portion out 2 1/2 cups of brownie mix into zippered baggies so that I have a true boxed brownie experience when I want it!
