Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup (40g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup (65g) all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup (90g) chocolate chips (optional, for extra fudginess)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line an 8×8-inch baking pan.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in sugar, eggs, and vanilla.
- Add cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Mix until just combined (do not overmix).
- Fold in chocolate chips if using.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not completely clean).
- Allow brownies to cool before cutting into squares.
Would you like me to also give you a super fudgy version with melted chocolate (even richer than this one) or keep it simple?
