- non-stick cooking spray

- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3/4 cup flour
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted and cooled a bit
- 3 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla
Spray the inside of an 8×8 glass baking dish.
In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the sugar, cocoa powder and flour.
In a larger bowl, whisk together the cooled butter, eggs, and vanilla. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet with a wooden spoon.
Scrape the batter into the baking dish. Microwave 4-7 minutes on high, just until the brownies are “done” in the middle.
Let the brownies cook on a rack 5-10 minutes, then cut into squares and eat.
