The best homemade brownie

Since Christmas I am so obsessed with baking these addictive brownies! It is incredibly rich….full of chocolaty goodness that need no frosting at all. And I have to claim that I am so smitten by this easy recipe. The whole process of putting together the ingredients is so easy and hassle free. And you will find me baking more of these in the near future…. For now I am forgetting about the calories and going with the flow!

So here goes my first recipe for this new year! Enjoy making it!

The recipe is adapted from here

Tips

• Add walnuts or pecan for the nutty crunch. ( I sprinkled a handful of chopped walnuts)

• If you like coffee flavor, add a teaspoon of espresso along with cocoa powder.
