High Altitude Deep Dish Brownies

Living in Colorado can sometimes make a normal recipe come out not so good. That was the case when Chloe and her mommy made some brownies from scratch it was not good.

So we went on a hunt for a high altitude brownie recipe and we found one that looked like a winner. We found it at Allrecipes.com <---this is the link to it.

So here we go lets see how it turns out!

High Altitude Deep Dish Brownies

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Looks like Chloe has already got a head start on the recipe! Go Chloe go. While she mixes I will let you know the ingredients you will need.

In the blue bowl: all-purpose flour , unsweetened cocoa powder, instant coffee, baking powder, and salt. Mommy did this ahead of time= In a large bowl, combine the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt; set aside.

Then we have in front vanilla extract, white sugar, eggs, and butter. Chopped walnuts (not shown)

Now we are ready to make some yumminess!

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8 inch square baking dish. Mommy didn't have a 8 inch pan so she used a 7X11 which worked out just fine.

In a separate bowl, stir together the melted butter, sugar, and vanilla.

Mix in the eggs.

Chloe was having so much mixing she didn't want to stop.

Gradually stir in the dry ingredients just until blended. 

Chloe was so surprised to see how it turned into chocolate mix. Yumminess is near!

Fold in walnuts if using.

Ready for the oven!

Bake in the preheated oven until the edges start to pull away from the sides of the pan and the top appears dry, 35 to 40 minutes.

Oh they look so yummy!

Ok now for the true test.....

I do believe that is the face of yumminess!!

 We hope all of our Colorado friends will give this recipe a try, oh and mommy did read that people at a lower altitude tried this recipe and it worked for them as well!
