Equipment
- 1 9x9-inch 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
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Optional Add-ins
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x9 inch baking pan to prepare it for the batter.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix the melted butter and sugar until smooth. Add in 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 ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to maintain a gooey texture.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and walnuts, if using, until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center remains soft.
- Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing.
- Cut the brownies into squares and serve warm. They pair perfectly with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
- Store any leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
