Average Jane Does Some Baking

I went to a dinner party last night with a bunch of friends and rather than just buy a bottle of wine, I figured I’d make and bring some brownies. I have a great scratch recipe and once I’d mixed them up, I just started adding extra ingredients and didn’t stop until I ran out of ideas.

They were awesome! I think I ate four of them, which is a LOT for me. Here’s the recipe in case you want to try them yourself.

Fully Loaded Brownies

1/2 cup melted butter
1 cup sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 eggs
1/2 cup flour
1/3 cup cocoa
1/4 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup coconut flakes
3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup mini marshmallows

Blend melted butter, sugar and vanilla. Add eggs, beat well with spoon. Combine flour, cocoa, baking power and salt; gradually add to egg mixture. Stir in nuts, coconut, chocolate chips and marshmallows. Bake in a greased 9" square pan at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for approximately 30 minutes or until center seems firm. Let cool and sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving.
