Basic brownie recipe

These brownies are my favorite bakes . And who doesn't love a brownie . But there are so many variations to it . I have made these many times and it's one of my favorite no fail recipes. But to reach this far it's difficult. To get the perfect one is even more difficult. I don't like the smell of the cocoa or even coffee . As by now you will know I am not a coffee lover from this recipe homemade iced coffee recipe that  I posted long time back . But kids all love BROWNIES and which kid doesn't .  Some like it fudgy and some like  that rocky road types that you get in malls . 

There are so many endless versions nowadays. Aj loves with nuts and chocolaty chips added into it. I just take  a small bite . He asks me why not omit the coffee if you don't like it that much ? ..but the truth is the coffee addition is the real secret to this recipe . As I said we have so many recipes and each are very discreet in it's ingredients and the product.  So omitting coffee is not a good idea though . This recipe has some pointers . Do not over mix the batter. Gently fold in the ingredients and don't waste time in grabbing your ingredients . .so in other words just lay out them right in front of you, so you can easily add them one at a time . Batter should be done soon as it is ready.  My oven took 25 to 30 minutes ...some may take 10 minutes more. So check it out as you bake in course of time . Also the chocolate chips , I wpuld suggest you top it on the batter after you pour it in the pan,otherwise it will sink to bottom . As the batter is smooth ,not a thick one , they tend to lay in the bottom of the pan. I enjoyed this basic brownie recipe and it is a real keeper . I think brownies are really eats to assemble and bake as you just need a bowl and spatula to do your job well. I would advise not to use the egg beater as the whole process is gentle and smooth task involved only.
