Homemade Brownie Mix

Kelli Miller

Never buy boxed brownie mix again! Follow the recipe below and make brownies for approximately .30 a mix! 

So simple, so easy. Not just frugal but cuts out the unknown ingredients. 

1 Cup Sugar, 

1/2 Cup All-Purpose Flour, 

1/3 Cup Cocoa, 

1/4 tsp Salt, 

1/4 tsp Baking Powder.

At Baking Time Add: 

2 Eggs, 

1/2 Cup Vegetable Oil, 

1 teaspoon Vanilla.
Bake @ 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes in an 8x8 or 9x9 pan. OR use the amazing Pampered Chef brownie pan and bake it in much less time - depends on your oven, check after 12-15 minutes of baking and remove when brownies are done!

Put mix in plastic bags or mason jars.

Dry Mixes: Taco, Onion Soup, Ranch

Parga's Junkyard

This is another one of those recipes a friend shared so grab it now...you will not find it in our pinterest boards! (unless I can find it somewhere else)
Make your own Ranch, Dry Onion Soup Mix and Taco Seasoning and store in small mason jars.


Taco Seasoning:

1/2 cup chili powder
1/4 cup onion powder
1/8 cup ground cumin
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon sea salt
Put ingredients into a jar and shake.

Dry Onion Soup Mix:
2/3 cup dried, minced onion
3 teaspoons parsley flakes
2 teaspoons onion powder
2 teaspoons turmeric
1 teaspoon celery salt
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
Mix all ingredients in a jar, then give the jar a good shake. I’d recommend shaking the jar to mix the ingredients well before each use.
Use 4 tablespoons in a recipe in place of 1 packet of onion soup mix. Store this in a dry, cool place.

Ranch:
5 tablespoons dried minced onions
7 teaspoons parsley flakes
4 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Mix together and store in an air tight container.
For dressing: Mix 2 tablespoons dry mix with 1 cup mayonnaise and 1 cup buttermilk or sour cream.
For dip: Mix 2 tablespoons dry mix with 2 cups sour cream.
Mix up a few hours before serving, so the flavors all blend.
