Update on Brownie Mix

My largest mixing bowl, and it is a big one, would not hold the 8 cups. So I had to do some math, and some algebra.  Yuck.  But I figured it out.  Plus I only had self rising flour.  So I left out the baking powder and the salt. 

After the above mathematics, I mixed together ingredients, reducing the recipe by 3/4.  I also substituted 2 cups of stevia for 2 cups of sugar.  This added to the cost, but it was my personal preference. I also added per the request of C about 1/2 cup of semi sweet chocolate chips.

The batter tasted very sweet.  I mixed up per the 1/2 cup of oil, 1/3 cup water but used two eggs because they were small.  I also baked in a 8X10ish glass pan for about 18 minutes at 350.  Since my oven gets a overheated at times, I might have left them in a few minutes too long so watch closely. 

M and I both agreed a tiny bit dry.  So either I will reduce cooking time or add more moisture/oil.  Cost per batch all sugar mix $1.13. Cost per batch with stevia $1.30.  So, cheaper than the $1.25 per mix at the Wally World and a whole lot healthier.

This is a very sweet and chocolaty brownie.  To reduce per batch cost, the cocoa can be bought in bulk from Sam's and the sugar could probably be reduced.
