Description

Indulge in these decadent homemade brownies that are far superior to any boxed mix. Rich, fudgy, and incredibly satisfying, these brownies are a chocolate lover’s dream come true.


Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Batter:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9×13-inch baking pan.
  2. Mix the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Add eggs and vanilla extract, then sift in cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Gently stir until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
  3. Bake: Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 28–32 minutes. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out slightly moist. Cool before slicing.

Notes

  • For extra fudgy brownies, underbake slightly and chill before slicing.
  • Get creative with flavor variations by adding walnuts or swirling in peanut butter.
