Serves: 9-12 people | Time: 35 minutes


Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup Nesquik chocolate powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt (for sprinkling on top)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prep

    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
    • Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients

    • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, Nesquik, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients

    • In a separate bowl, mix the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
    • Add in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, and mix well.
  4. Combine and Fold

    • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the brownies fudgy.
  5. Bake

    • Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
    • Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  6. Finish with Sea Salt

    • Once out of the oven, immediately sprinkle a bit of sea salt over the top.
    • Let the brownies cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before lifting them out to cut.
  7. Serve and Enjoy

    • Cut into squares and enjoy your Nesquik brownies with that lovely salty finish!

Tips

  • Make It Extra Fudgy: If you love gooey brownies, bake for 20 minutes and let them cool completely before cutting.

  • Add Some Crunch: Stir in chopped nuts or chocolate chips for extra texture.

  • Boost the Chocolate: Add 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder for a deeper chocolate flavor.

  • Dairy-Free Alternative: Use melted coconut oil instead of butter for a dairy-free version.

  • Storage Tip: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
