I don't know about you, but my absolute favorite part about making brownies is eating the batter. I always go on to make the regular brownies and do my best to scrape the bowl once they are in the oven. When the bownies are finished, I never seem to enjoy them as much as I enjoyed the batter. Why didn't I think of this recipe before??
One of my favorite channels is The Food Network, specifically The Barefoot Contessa. Yes, Ina can be rather cheesy at times, but I can't deny the fact that I just love her! This brownie pudding was inspired by a recipe of hers that I watched recently on one of her shows; however, this is a much EASIER version!

This dessert is a combo of brownies and batter. It tastes like batter with pieces of cooked brownie. I love it. Here is my simple version of Ina's delicious brownie pudding! (BTW--I was lucky enough to get a new camera for Christmas..I'm in love).
-BROWNIE PUDDING-
**I used an 11x7x2 baking dish. Your baking time will depend on the type of pan you use. A bigger pan (such as a 13x9) will not need as much time to bake.
Ingredients:
- One box of your favorite brownie mix (I used Betty Crocker Ultimate Fudge Brownies)
- 1/4 cup Pure Canola Oil
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 egg
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare brownie mix as directed on box..do not over mix! Spray your baking pan with No-Stick Cooking Spray and fill pan with brownie batter.
Place your baking pan into a larger baking dish. Add hot tap water to the larger dish until the water is about half-way up the side of the smaller dish and bake for 30 minutes. Take the brownie pan out of the larger dish and bake for another 10 minutes. The brownies should be appear to be in between cooked brownies and pudding.
I ate mine with a fat-free whipped cream and strawberries. You could also try this with vanilla ice cream as well!
It's super rich, but super GOOD and soooo easy! Hope you enjoy it!!!
Love, Alex
