Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup chocolate chips (optional)
Substitutions & Key Variations
If you’re missing some ingredients or want to change things up, here are a few substitutions you can use:
- Butter: You can use coconut oil or vegetable oil for a dairy-free option.
- Sugar: Brown sugar can be used for a richer flavor, or you can try coconut sugar for a healthier alternative.
- Eggs: Use unsweetened applesauce or mashed bananas in place of eggs for a vegan version. Use 1/4 cup of either for each egg.
- Flour: For a gluten-free option, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend.
- Add-ins: Feel free to toss in nuts, caramel swirls, or even dried fruit to make them unique.
Step-by-Step
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish. This ensures the brownies come out easily and have a nice crust.
Step 2: Melt the Butter
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Once it’s melted, remove the saucepan from the heat.
Step 3: Mix in Sugar, Eggs, and Vanilla
Add the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract to the melted butter. Stir well to combine. This will create a rich and creamy base for your brownies.
Step 4: Combine Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add this mixture to the butter mixture. Stir until everything is well combined.
Step 5: Optional – Fold in Chocolate Chips
If you’re using chocolate chips, fold them into the batter now. This step adds extra chocolatey goodness to your brownies.
Step 6: Spread and Bake
Spread the brownie batter evenly into the prepared baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes. The brownies should be soft in the center, so avoid overbaking them.
Step 7: Cool and Cut
Once baked, remove from the oven and let the brownies cool in the pan. After cooling, cut them into squares.
Success Tips
- Temperature: Make sure your butter is melted but not too hot to avoid cooking the eggs when combining.
- Texture: Do not overmix the batter; just combine until everything is well blended.
- Common Mistakes: Avoid opening the oven door too soon, as this can cause the brownies to sink.
How to Serve
Snoop Dogg’s Brownies can be served warm or at room temperature. They are perfect on their own or can be dressed up with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce.
Storage & Reheating
You can store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you want to keep them longer, refrigerate for up to a week. To reheat, pop a square in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds, and enjoy the freshly baked taste.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I freeze these brownies?
Yes, you can freeze them! Wrap each brownie in plastic wrap and store them in an airtight container or freezer bag. They should last for up to 3 months in the freezer.
How do I know when the brownies are done baking?
Insert a toothpick into the center of the brownies. If it comes out with a few moist crumbs, they are done. If it comes out wet with batter, they need more time.
What if I don’t have baking powder?
If you don’t have baking powder, you can use baking soda. However, if you’re using baking soda, you may need to add a little extra acid, like vinegar or lemon juice, to balance it.
