A rich, fudgy chocolate homemade brownies recipe perfect for sweet snack cravings.
Equipment
- 1 9x9-inch baking pan greased
- 1 Mixing Bowl large
- 1 Whisk
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9 inch baking pan to prevent the brownies from sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Whisk together until evenly mixed.
- In another bowl, mix the melted butter and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain a fudgy texture.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan on a wire rack before slicing.
- Cut into squares and serve as is, or with a scoop of ice cream for an extra treat.
Storage
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
