I call these Pantry Brownies because they’re made with ingredients I pretty much always have on hand in our pantry and fridge.

And these have become my go-to quick brownie when we want an easy dessert. They’re about as easy as a brownie can get, too.

This is a great recipe for a base brownie that you can make and then add chocolate chips, nuts, icing or another ingredient to customize them.

Try them out and let us know how you make them your way!
