The Ultimate Fudgy Brownies
These fudgy homemade brownies are characterized by their rich chocolate flavor and dense, moist texture. With a slightly crisp top and a gooey center, they are the perfect combination of chewy and soft.
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)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Melt the Butter: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder.
- Combine: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, stirring until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips if using.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
- Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before lifting them out using the parchment paper. Cut into squares and enjoy!
