Ingredients
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking powder
Optional: 1/2 cup chocolate chips or nuts
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and sugar, stirring until well blended.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the mixture, beating until smooth and creamy.
- Sift in the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Stir until just combined; avoid overmixing.
- If using, fold in the chocolate chips or nuts.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the brownies to cool in the pan before cutting into squares and serving.
Notes
For an extra fudgy texture, slightly underbake the brownies and allow them to set as they cool.
You can customize the recipe by adding different mix-ins like white chocolate chips, peanut butter swirls, or shredded coconut.
If you prefer a less sweet brownie, reduce the sugar to 3/4 cup.
