Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly to prevent sticking.
  2. Melt Butter: In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat, then remove from heat.
  3. Mix Sugars and Butter: Stir the granulated sugar and brown sugar into the melted butter until well combined and smooth.
  4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, followed by the vanilla extract, ensuring a smooth, glossy batter.
  5. Sift Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt to avoid lumps.
  6. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined and the batter is thick and uniform.
  7. Pour Batter into Pan: Pour the brownie batter evenly into the prepared baking pan and spread it out smoothly.
  8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 22 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
  9. Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing into squares and serving to enjoy the best fudgy texture.

Notes

  • For extra fudginess, slightly underbake the brownies by a minute or two.
  • You can add nuts like walnuts or chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.
  • Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
