- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour

- Pour the thick batter into a greased 9×9 inch baking dish and spread evenly. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes. A toothpick inserted should come out with moist crumbs.
- Allow to cool slightly before slicing into squares.
