First of all, the word brownie is traced back to the Old English word “burhle.” In a 2002 study, it was discovered that “burhle” is the Anglo-Saxon word for a stone. A recipe in a 12th-century cookbook from Exeter, England, included the typical ingredients of flour, butter, and nuts, along with a brown sugar glaze. This led to the belief that a brownie was bread made out of flour, butter, and sugar. However, we know that brownies were made out of sugar instead of flour. Also, the brownie’s name resulted from combining all of the other popular desserts with chocolate.
Remember, brownies aren’t the same as pies, cookies, cakes, or cakes. A pie is a baked, layered dessert that typically includes filling. On the other hand, Brownies are simply a baked, egg-and-flour-based egg-and-flour-based dessert that typically includes nuts and a dried fruit layer. Don’t confuse brownies with cookies, cake, or cookies!
Yes, you read that right: you can have brownies without paying a high price for them in terms of calories.

In a recent study, scientists found that one of the common ingredients in brownie mix, baking powder, releases a form of a chemical called sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS). This compound makes any food slightly chewy and, therefore, a preferred texture when consuming food. So, is brownie chewy because of this ingredient? The simple answer is “no” because baking powder is already used in many baked goods, particularly cake mixes.
