Equipment
- 1 9-inch square baking pan greased and floured
- 1 electric mixer
- 1 Mixing Bowl large
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
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. Grease and flour a 9-inch square baking pan to prevent sticking.
- In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
- In another bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the melted butter and sugar until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the brownies tough.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula to ensure even baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Serving
- Allow the brownies to cool in the pan on a wire rack before cutting them into slices. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra special treat.
Storage
- Store any leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For longer storage, wrap them tightly and freeze for up to 3 months.
