Classic Brownies with a Twist

Originally posted on Facebook June 30, 2009

I still haven't used up all the ingredients I bought when I was baking for my Grandma's birthday. The nuts will probably be going bad soon, so I decided to use them. I made my classic brownie recipe but then I added a twist. I took them to work today and they went over very well.

1/2 cup margarine (or butter)
6 tbsp cocoa powder (when doubling the recipe this equals about 3/4 cup)
2 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2/3 cup flour
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup nuts (optional)

Preheat oven to 350. Grease 8x8 pan. Melt margarine and cocoa powder. Set aside. Beat eggs. Beat in vanilla and sugar. Add cocoa mixture. Mix well. Add dry ingredients. Mix well. Pour into pan. Bake for 25 minutes.

I doubled the recipe and put it in a 9x13 pan. For nuts I used walnuts and for a twist I threw in about half a package of white chocolate chips for an extra surprise. They turned out rather well.
