Go Back
Brownies have a storied past that dates back to the late 19th century in the United States. While the exact origins remain somewhat of a mystery, it is widely believed that brownies were first created in the Chicago area. The initial recipe for brownies appeared in the 1897 edition of the Boston Cooking School Cookbook, authored by Fannie Farmer. This early version was simply a chocolate cake baked in a pan, but over time, bakers refined the recipe into the fudgy, dense treat we adore today.

Ingredients
  

1 cup unsalted butter

1 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

4 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup Dr Pepper soda

1 cup chocolate chips (optional)

1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

    In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in both the granulated sugar and brown sugar until smooth.

      Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

        In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.

          Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the Dr Pepper, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.

            If using, fold in the chocolate chips and chopped nuts to the batter until evenly distributed.

              Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.

                Bake in your preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

                  Remove from the oven and let the brownies cool in the pan for about 15 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                    Once cooled, cut into squares and serve. Enjoy with a drizzle of chocolate sauce or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat!
