Equipment
- 1 8x8 inch baking dish
- 1 mixing bowls
- 1 set measuring cups and spoons
- 1 whisk or electric mixer
- 1 rubber spatula
- 1 parchment paper (optional)
Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ cup chocolate chips optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease the baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in the granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips, if using.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Avoid overbaking for fudgy texture.
- Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before cutting them into squares.
Notes
For a richer taste, consider adding nuts or using dark chocolate chips.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature or up to a week in the refrigerator.
You can also serve the brownies warm with a scoop of ice cream for an indulgent dessert.
