Make rich, chewy brownies with a crackly top in just one bowl. This easy recipe delivers intense chocolate flavor better than any box mix.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan, or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the melted butter and sugar. Stir until well combined.
  3. Beat in the vanilla extract and then the eggs, one at a time, until the mixture is smooth.
  4. Add the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt to the bowl. Stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. If using, fold in the chocolate chips.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached.
  8. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.

Notes

  • For an even fudgier texture, you can reduce the baking time by a few minutes.
  • Swirl in peanut butter or cream cheese for added flavor.
  • Do not overbake, as this will result in dry brownies.
