SUMMER BROWNIES!

Steps:

• Crust: Crush Oreos until either crumbly, or powdery, depending on how you like your crust.
• Once the Oreos are to a consistency to your liking, mix in the cream or buttermilk, and mix thoroughly. I advise against using a beater or electric mixer as this may result in a crust more firm than desired.
• Spread along inside of glass or aluminum bread pan. I personally use a glassware bread pan, as it fits well and is easy to serve.
• Filling: Mix all ingredients thoroughly. Here using an electric mixer or beater is okay, and may give you a lighter result depending on your personal preference.
• Final touches: Pour the filling into the crust, either in it, like a pie, or on top, if you want a two layer, brownie style result.
• If you want to make it into a pie, double the crust, triple the filling, and use a standard pie tin.
• After it has set flat, put it in the freezer for at least 1-2 hours.
• Enjoy frozen or let it defrost slightly when you take it out!

SQUASH BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Cream butter, oil, and sugars together in a large mixing bowl; beat in eggs.
• Add vanilla and buttermilk, stirring well.
• In another bowl, mix together dry ingredients (except nuts and chocolate chips), then add in small amounts to the wet ingredients, stirring well after each addition.
• Add the grated squash to the batter, and mix well.
• Pour the batter into a greased and floured oblong 9x11 baking pan and sprinkle with nuts and chocolate chips.
• Bake in preheated oven at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes, or until it tests done.
• Cut into squares when cool.

QUICK AND EASY BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch pan.
• Combine the melted butter, sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla, eggs, flour, baking powder, and salt. Spread the batter into the prepared pan. Decorate with walnut halves, if desired.
• Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with crumbs, not wet. Cool on wire rack.

THE BEST BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 180 degrees Celsius.
• Mix oil and sugar until well blended.
• Add eggs and vanilla; stir just until blended.
• Mix all dry ingredients in a separate bowl.
• Stir dry ingredients into the oil/sugar mixture.
• Pour into greased 9 x 9 square pan.
• Bake for 20 minutes or until sides just starts to pull away from the pan.
• Cool completely before cutting.
• Note: I usually double the recipe and bake in a 9 x 13 pan. If you double the recipe, you will need to cook longer than 20 minutes.
