The recipe on the back on King Arthur whole wheat flour produces incredibly rich, gooey brownies:

1 cup whole wheat flour
2 cups sugar
3/4 cup cocoa powder
1/4 teaspooon salt
1 stick butter or margarine, melted
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla

Basically mix it all together and bake in a greased square pan at 350 F for 30 minutes. Not exactly health food, but well worth it once in a while.

Keep trying to find that recipe! I have never made anything that would compare unfavorably with boxed mixes and I have only been baking for two years. And baking from scratch you get to see what goes in--real food, especially if you use King Arthur or organic flour--not the bizarre chemicals of the packaged food industry.
