Description
Transform mishaps into memories with these rich, chewy brownies and a fudgy glaze. Perfectly balanced and incredibly easy to make, these brownies are ideal for any occasion.
Ingredients
2 cups white sugar
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup baking cocoa (Dutch process)
½ tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
1 cup vegetable oil
4 large eggs (room temperature)
2 tbsp light corn syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
¼ cup confectioners’ sugar
4 tsp water
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch pan with non-stick spray.
Whisk together sugar, flour, cocoa, salt, and baking powder in a large bowl until well combined.
In a separate bowl, blend oil, eggs, corn syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour wet ingredients into dry mixture and stir until just incorporated (about 30 seconds).
Fold in walnuts (if using) to create a thick, lumpy batter.
Spread batter evenly in the prepared pan using a silicone spatula.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool the brownies for 15 minutes before preparing the glaze.
In a small bowl, whisk together confectioners’ sugar and 4 tsp of water. Add more water as needed to achieve a drizzle-friendly consistency.
Drizzle the glaze over the warm brownies.
Let the brownies cool completely before slicing.
Notes
For extra fudgy texture, avoid overbaking. Substitute walnuts with pecans or omit nuts for a nut-free version. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
