Perfect One Bowl Brownies

I can't believe I haven't posted these on here yet. I found these over on My sister's cafe blog and they quickly became my favorite brownies. I make them all the time. In fact I couldn't find my recipe tonight so I hopped on here, thinking I had posted it and I hadn't! Good thing I remembered which blog I found it on!

Perfect One Bowl Brownies

1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup canola or vegetable oil
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup cocoa
4 eggs
3/4 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
1 3/4 cup flour
1 cup chocolate chips or just sprinkle over the top


Preheat oven to 350. In a medium bowl melt butter in microwave, then stir in oil, sugar and cocoa. With a wooden spoon stir in the remainder of the ingredients except for the chocolate chips. Spread into a 9x13 pan sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the top. Bake in a preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. If your toothpick comes out clean you have cooked them too long! DO NOT OVERCOOK!

Autumn Harvest Pork Loin

1/2 cup brown sugar

This is one of my favorite fall recipes. I also add some sweet potatoes.
