Posted Nov 27, 2023, Updated Dec 15, 2023 Brownies are my all time favorite dessert. So I took my passion for rich and fudgy brownies to make the best homemade brownie mix ever. In my opinion, brownies have to be supremely fudgy (if I wanted chocolate cake, I’d make it). In order to achieve the perfect texture with this brownie mix recipe – semisweet chocolate is added to the mix and pulsed in the blender until a fine powder forms. Use our free printable gift tag (with mixing and baking instructions) and give this delicious homemade brownie mix as a gift to the chocolate lovers in your life.
Brownie Mix: Ingredients & Substitutions
All-purpose flour. To make this mix gluten-free, use all-purpose gluten free baking flour. Semisweet chocolate. Use chips or bars – just be sure to use 6 oz of chocolate. I prefer semisweet chocolate, but milk chocolate or dark chocolate are great options too. Granulated sugar. white sugar or organic cane sugar are great choices.
Ingredients for making brownies with mix
Salted butter. unsalted butter, coconut oil or vegan butter all work with this brownie mix recipe. Eggs. I don’t recommend substitutions for the eggs.
How to Make Brownie Mix
This brownie mix recipe comes together in 5 minutes flat! Don’t forget to watch the video for further clarity on the process. Begin my placing the brownie mix ingredients in the order listed into the container of a high-powered blender (Vitamix) or food processor. Then, blend or process the ingredients until the mixture is a fine powder. Do not let the mixture get too warm by blending it for too long. It’s better to blend in short spurts than for long periods of time, or the semisweet chocolate will melt instead of being incorporated into the powder. Once the mixture is a fine powder, transfer the brownie mix to a 1-quart glass jar.
How to Make Brownies with the mix
Then, if you’d like to make brownie with the homemade brownie mix, follow these steps. To make the brownies, begin by preheating your oven to 350°F. Then, vigorously whisk two eggs together in a large bowl for 1 minute. You can use a whisk or a handheld mixer. Then, add the melted butter and vanilla and whisk to combine. Next, stir the entire jar of brownie mix into the wet ingredients. Then, pour the batter into a greased 8×8” baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the brownies are slightly jiggly but set on top. Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely before cutting them into either 9 or 16 squares. I suggest serving the brownies with some homemade vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce! Yum!
How to Store Brownie Mix
The brownie mix should be stored in a cool, dry place in a glass jar with a lid for up to 3 months, or until the expiration date of the ingredients. If you are giving this as a gift, I suggest checking the expiration dates on all of your ingredients. Then, write the earliest (soonest) date on the outside of the jar somewhere visible. This way, the person who receives the gift knows by what date it needs to be used. Or you can freeze the mix in the glass jar for up to 6 months.
How to Store Baked Brownies
Store the baked brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
