Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325ºF (160°C) and spray a 9x13 baking pan or dish with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the brownie mix and espresso powder (if using).
Next, add the eggs, water, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir just until everything is combined.
(Optional) Fold in any of your desired mix-ins.
Pour the brownie batter into your prepared 9x13 baking pan and use a spatula to spread it out evenly.
Bake at 325ºF (160°C) for 50 minutes. Test your brownies by inserting a toothpick in the center, it should come out clean.
Remove your brownies from the oven and let them cool for 15-20 minutes before slicing.
Notes
*The nutritional information does not include any of the optional mix-ins.
I like swapping butter for oil when making boxed brownie mix because it gives the brownies the most decadent melt-in-your-mouth texture and rich flavor.
Be careful not to overmix your brownie batter or the brownies can become dense.
To store: Keep your brownies at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 5 days. You can also wrap them tightly in plastic wrap then place them in a heavy-duty freezer bag and freeze them for up to 6 weeks!
To reheat: You can let frozen brownies thaw out on the counter at room temperature, or pop them in the microwave in 15-second increments until warm.
