Ingredients

4 servings

1 cup butter, softened 2 cups brown sugar 2 eggs 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1 cup all-purpose flour 1 pinch salt 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 1 cup chopped walnuts (Optional)

Hearty Potato Bread

Instructions

Step 1

Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x11 inch baking dish to keep the brownies from sticking. In a big bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until everything is smooth and well combined. Crack in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then add the vanilla extract and give it a good stir. Toss in the flour, salt, and cocoa powder, mixing just until everything is moistened—don’t overdo it. If you like, fold in some chopped walnuts for a bit of crunch. Pour the batter into your prepared pan, spreading it out evenly. Pop it in the oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the surface looks dry and the edges start to pull away from the sides. Let the brownies cool completely before slicing them into squares and enjoying!
