How To Make back to the basics brownies
-
Step 1Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 13x9" pan.
-
Step 2Stir together butter, sugar and vanilla. Add eggs and beat well. Add other ingredients, beating until well blended.
-
Step 3Spread into greased pan. (To make removal of brownies easier, you may opt to line your pan with foil, then grease the foil. Once the brownies are finished and frosted, remove from pan by lifting out by the edges of the foil before cutting.)
-
Step 4Bake 30-35 minutes or until brownies start to pull away from sides of pan.
-
Step 5Let cool. Frost, if desired, by combining all frosting ingredients except pecans and spreading over cooled brownies. Sprinkle pecans over top of frosting.
