These delectable treats are great as a gift.
Simply layer the dry brownie ingredients in a quart jar, and all the recipient has to do is add eggs, oil and vanilla. After they use it, they can layer the same ingredients again and have brownies ready to mix up again. Make sure you include this recipe with the jar of ingredients.
Brownie mix:
1 cup plus 2 TBSP all-purpose flour
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 tsp salt
2/3 cup sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/3 cup baking cocoa
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Additional ingredients:
3 eggs
2/3 cup vegetable oil
