Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup (75g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup (95g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Optional Variations

  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (for Nutty Delight)
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (dark or milk) (for Chocolate Chunk Explosion)
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon or chili powder (for Spiced Brownies)
  • 2 flax eggs (for Vegan Adaptation, replacing 2 eggs)
  • Use 3/4 cup almond flour or gluten-free flour blend instead of all-purpose flour (for Gluten-Free Version)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Start by warming your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper to ensure easy removal later.
  2. Melt the Butter and Combine Cocoa: In your single mixing bowl, melt the butter either on the stove or in the microwave, then whisk in the unsweetened cocoa powder until smooth and glossy, building that rich chocolate base.
  3. Add Sugar and Eggs: Stir granulated sugar into the chocolate mixture until fully combined, then beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract to enhance flavor complexity.
  4. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gently fold in the flour and salt until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep the brownies tender and fudgy rather than cakey.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Pour the batter into your prepared pan, smoothing out the top evenly. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan; this step helps the fudgy texture set beautifully before slicing into squares.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs to help the batter mix evenly and prevent curdling.
  • Measure flour carefully by spooning and leveling to avoid dry, crumbly brownies.
  • Don’t overmix the batter; stop folding as soon as flour disappears to keep brownies tender.
  • Use an oven thermometer to ensure accurate baking temperature and prevent drying.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before slicing to maintain their fudgy texture.
