Here’s a classic, fudgy brownie recipe that’s easy to make at home 🍫
Fudgy Chocolate Brownies
Ingredients (makes 9–12 brownies)
- 1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup (40 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup (65 g) all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
Optional add-ins:
- Chocolate chips, nuts, or swirls of peanut butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven
Preheat to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch pan or line with parchment paper. - Melt butter
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Remove from heat and stir in sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth. - Mix dry ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. - Combine
Fold dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Avoid overmixing. - Bake
Pour batter into the prepared pan. Bake 20–25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (for fudgy brownies). - Cool & cut
Let cool completely before slicing into squares.
Tips for Perfect Brownies
- For extra fudgy brownies, slightly underbake by 1–2 minutes.
- Use high-quality cocoa or chocolate chips for richer flavor.
- Store airtight at room temperature for 3–4 days or freeze slices for later.
If you want, I can also give a “2-ingredient brownie” or keto/low-carb brownie recipe that’s even quicker and still fudgy.
