Brownies are as popular among the Amish as they are among the non-Amish. In fact, you see many types of brownies at Amish gatherings, from blonde brownies to nutty brownies to chocolatey, fudgy brownies.
☑️ Why Brownies Are Popular Among the Amish
I mean, why not? But here are some more practical reasons:
Portability: very easy to put some brownies into a sealed tote, slide them under the buggy seat and head to a gathering.
Easy: When you have a house full of young children, as many Amish Moms do, dessert is desired but time is short. Nothing easier than a stir-n-bake brownie recipe!
Scalability: You can easily scale up - or down - a brownie recipe to fit the crowd you have to feed. Expecting 200 people at a gathering? Easy, just adjust the proportions and number of pans accordingly, and you're good to go!
Step-By-Step Brownies
Basic ingredients for this brown recipe. Not sure why I put brown sugar in the photo. Oh well. The recipe calls for white sugar, BUT if you don't have any white sugar, you can just use brown. I like swapping out white for brown sugar in recipes like this.
Definitely not the most appealing photo, but the recipe does call for SIX eggs, so thought I'd take a photo before I stirred it all up. I did use an electric mixer
And I got this beautiful, chocolatey batter which I spread into a pan.
I ended up baking the brownies about 40 minutes which was double the time the recipe gives, so all I can tell you is to monitor the baking closely. You don't want to overbake them, but 20 minutes would have just been a gooey mess for me.
