Lunch Lady Brownies

Drop everything you're doing, and go and make these for your family, or for you, whatever floats your boat.

I'm not even going to sit here and make a huge introduction or talk over and over about what a brownie is or why you should make these, I just want you to know that these are delicious and you will never think of brownies the same way again.

This is yet another recipe from Life in the Lofthouse, do go by and check out the site, you won't regret it, Holly has a ton of yummy recipes available.

Lunch Lady Brownies
Yield: 12 to 24


1 cup butter, melted
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
4 teaspoons vanilla extract

Chocolate Frosting

¼ cup butter, softened
¼ cup milk ( I use 2%)
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
3 cups powdered sugar


Preheat oven to 350° F. Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with foil and spray foil with non-stick spray. Set aside.
In the bowl of an electric stand-mixer, add the melted butter and cocoa powder. Using the paddle attachment, blend until smooth.

Add the flour and sugar. Beat together then add eggs and vanilla. Mix just until combined. Don't over mix. (Batter will be thick)

Pour batter into prepared baking dish and spread out evenly. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Remove brownies from oven and let stand 15 minutes before frosting. You want the brownies still warm when you frost them!

FOR CHOCOLATE FROSTING: Beat together all the frosting ingredients until smooth. Pour and spread over warm brownies. Let cool completely before cutting and serving.
