Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 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. Prepare the Oven and Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal of the brownies.
  2. Melt Butter and Mix Sugars: In a medium bowl, melt the unsalted butter. Stir in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until the mixture is well combined and slightly cooled.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract to enhance the chocolate flavor.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt to remove lumps and evenly distribute the cocoa and salt.
  5. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet mixture. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix to keep the brownies tender.
  6. Pour Batter and Bake: Pour the brownie batter evenly into the prepared baking pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares. Enjoy as is or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

  • For extra fudgy brownies, slightly underbake by checking a few minutes earlier than recommended.
  • Add chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or swirl in peanut butter for variations.
  • Use high-quality cocoa powder for the best flavor.
  • Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • Refrigerate for longer storage, up to one week.
