Lazy Day Brownies are a perfectly chocolaty, moist and delicious recipe. 1 bowl and 25 minutes until you can dive into this fabulous treat!
Some days I am just plain lazy in the kitchen. One bowl, one pan, and 5 minutes to get it in the oven is about all I have.
In comes the Lazy Day Brownie. Perfectly chocolaty and it comes together in 5 minutes.
I love this recipe as a base for yummy trifles and really enjoy souping these brownies up to make several varieties of outrageous brownies.
These are certainly the most requested recipe in our house. I cut this recipe into tiny brownie bites and stick them in the freezer.
They are the perfect cure for that chocolate craving when ever you have one! Also awesome for stirring into vanilla ice cream.

ReplyDeleteI love to see the words "super simple" in the title...my kind of recipe! These brownies sound divine! x
ReplyDelete25 minutes to these brownies? I'm in!
ReplyDeleteYum! I bet these are so rich and chocolatey. I'm drooling just thinking about it.
ReplyDeleteTried these last week! So easy to make, and really tasty!
ReplyDeleteNo nuts listed in ingredients
ReplyDeleteTrue, there are no nuts in these recipes. If you want brownies with nuts try these: http://www.theslowroasteditalian.com/2012/11/simple-double-chocolate-pecan-brownies.html
DeleteEnjoy!
i love these brownies. they always turn out great. but have one question..... do we measure the cocoa first and then sift it or sift first and then measure? since cocoa has lumps
ReplyDeleteI measure first and then pour the measuring cup into a sifter (if necessary) and sift right into the bowl. Enjoy and let us know how it goes.
DeleteSooooo going to bake these. they look yummy
ReplyDeleteLiking the simplicity of this. Pinning to try soon!!
ReplyDeleteDo I have to use the parchment paper in the pan or can I just grease it and go?
ReplyDeleteNice and easy. Thank you Donna
ReplyDeleteThis looks amazing! I'm a sucker for brownies.

Why do you have a separate recipe for brownies WITH nuts? can't you just add nuts to this recipe.??? or is there a specific REASON you have NOT? thanks for the reply
ReplyDeleteI subsitituted the butter gor vegetable oil as it tends to be softer, delicious!
ReplyDeleteJust made .. and these are good, quick and easy! I added 1/4 cup chopped walnuts and then sprinkled 1 tbs of mini choc chips on top. After trying paleo, vegan, low cal brownies .. these were a welcome change - and the only recipe that I didn't toss!!
ReplyDeleteMonica
I doubled the recipe and used half butter and half veg. oil. took 35 minutes to bake.
ReplyDeleteI normally always forget to comment about a recipe, or to let people know how their recipes worked, but OH MY GOD! These brownies are so fast to whip up, and you don't have to worry about beating it to keep it fluffy because you want them as dense as possible. Absolutely LOVED this recipe, and these brownies were a hit at my party yesterday! =) Thank you so much!
ReplyDeleteCan I add nuts to this recipe? How many - about 1/2 cup? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI love this recipe, I use it everytime, and even for someone who can't bake it never fails.
ReplyDeleteThank you Charles!!! We are so glad you enjoy them!!! These brownies are my favorite!!!
DeleteJust made these! They are deeeeeelicious :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Stephanie! We are so happy you enjoyed them!
DeleteJust making these now... I didn't have any cocoa powder so I used an equal amount of melted chocolate chips. It makes the baking time double, but they turn out so, so gooey delicious .
ReplyDeleteJust made these brownies, really disappointed. Not moist at all, soooo dry. I baked them for 18-20 minutes. I used organic cocoa powder, so maybe it was that☹️
ReplyDeleteHave now made these half a dozen times, both as written and doubling the recipe. They turn out perfectly every time even when it's late, I'm tired, and am making because there's no chocolate dessert options in the house (i.e. normally when I make recipe failure level baking mistakes). So easy and fuss free that the clean up is done well before they're out of the oven.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a simple and delicious brownie recipe. I’m prone to over baking brownies but I’ll plan on using the toothpick test and hope that they turn out well.
