Description
This easy homemade brownie recipe offers a rich, fudgy texture that melts in your mouth, making it a favorite treat for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 lb (2 sticks) unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 4 oz semisweet chocolate (chopped or chips)
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- Optional: 1/2 cup chocolate chips or chopped walnuts for mixing in
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9×9-inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it.
- In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter with the chopped chocolate. Stir until the mixture is smooth and let it cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Slowly stir in the melted chocolate-butter mixture until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Gently fold this dry mixture into the wet mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- If you want to customize your brownies, fold in chocolate chips or chopped walnuts at this point.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter).
- Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes before slicing them into squares.
