How to Make Lunchroom Ladies Fudgy Brownies

  1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Make the Brownie Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and granulated sugar, stirring until well combined. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be thick.
  4. Bake the Brownies: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  5. Prepare the Frosting: While the brownies are baking, make the frosting. In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter and cocoa powder until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined and creamy.
  6. Frost the Brownies: Once the brownies are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Spread the chocolate frosting evenly over the cooled brownies.
  7. Serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting them into squares. Enjoy your Lunchroom Ladies Fudgy Brownies with a glass of cold milk or your favorite beverage!

Tips

  • Let Them Cool: Allowing the brownies to cool before frosting will help the frosting set better.
  • Add Nuts: For added texture, consider folding in chopped walnuts or pecans to the brownie batter.

Substitutions and Variations

  • Different Frostings: Try a cream cheese frosting or a peanut butter frosting for a unique twist.
  • Add Flavor: Incorporate chocolate chips or swirls of caramel for added richness.

Make a Healthier Version

  • Use unsweetened applesauce as a substitute for some of the butter in the brownie batter.
  • Substitute whole wheat flour for all-purpose flour to increase the fiber content.
