BROWNIE RULES:
DO NOT OVER MIX YOUR BROWNIES or they will turn out like cake. If I'm going to eat all the calories in a brownie, I have to say I will not eat a cake-y brownie. Brownies are supposed to be gooey and moist ...and NOT CAKE. :O)
When you are mixing a brownie batch, mix the dry ingredients together as much as you'd like. Then, in a separate bowl, mix the wet ingredients together... as much as you'd like!
BUT, when you mix them together... STOP when all the dry ingredients are moistened. AND let it sit for a few minutes (10 if you need to set a timer) before you pull it into a baking pan.

| Wishing there was a "Scratch-and-Sniff" sticker for you here... :O) |
 |
| Mix your dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. In the middle, make a well for the wet ingredients. |
 |
| If it says "7 eggs beaten", you actually do need to beat the eggs... |
 |
| Add beaten eggs, vanilla and butter to the dry ingredients. |
 |
 |
| Mix together until the dry ingredients and wet ingredients are barely integrated like this photo. Then let rest 5-10 minutes before finishing mixing and incorporating the wet and dry. |
 |
| Grease your 9X13 pan generously with refined coconut oil. Dust with sugar. This shouldn't be an issue anymore... We've talked about using sugar to dust for a few years now. :O) |
 |
| When you pull the brownie mix from the bowl (literally pulling...) Take your scraper or wooden mixing spoon and pull the top to the edges of the baking pan until they're even and nearly flat. |
 |
| Bake for 25-30 minutes. You'll know they're done when there is no longer a DARK and un-baked middle. And it will smell like brownies... |
 |
| If you can stand the wait: Let cool 30-50 minutes before cutting up into squares. |
