Description

These Easy Chocolate Brownies are perfectly fudgy, chocolatey, and come together with minimal ingredients. With a crackly top and rich flavor, they’re perfect for any chocolate lover and make a great dessert or snack.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips or chunks (optional for extra gooeyness)



Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven:

    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the Batter:

    • In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until well combined.
    • Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth and glossy.
  3. Add the Dry Ingredients:

    • Sift in the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix. Fold in chocolate chips if desired.
  4. Bake the Brownies:

    • Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (for fudgy brownies).
  5. Cool and Serve:

    • Allow the brownies to cool in the pan before slicing. Cut into squares and enjoy!

Notes

  • Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • Variations: Add nuts like walnuts or pecans, or swirl in peanut butter or caramel before baking for extra flavor.
