There’s a reason that we have two hands….two be able to hold a brownie in each. I strongly think that once you whip up these brownies, you’re going to know exactly what I mean. Not only are the brownies made from scratch, but the frosting that goes on top is as well!

That’s like two simple recipes in one – and it totally beats anything store-bought that you’ll ever try!

Anytime that I can create two awesome flavors with one simple recipe, I’m going to call that a baking win.

LUNCH LADY BROWNIE FAQS

How do you store brownies once cooked?

Since these brownies have the added frosting on top, I would recommend storing them in an airtight container and keeping them in the fridge. And if you’re a fan of warm brownies, just pop them in the microwave for about 10 seconds or so and they’ll warm up right away!

What are some fun toppings to add to these brownies?

We tend to stray off recipes at times and make our own additions. You could make these brownies even sweeter by adding on some mini chocolate chips, shredded coconut, or even a drizzle or caramel sauce or fudge!
