Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- Optional: 1/2 cup chocolate chips or chopped nuts
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl until completely melted, cooling slightly before the next step.
- Mix the granulated sugar into the melted butter until fully combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Combine the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder in a separate bowl.
- Incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing just until combined.
- Add chocolate chips or nuts if using.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool for at least 10 minutes before cutting into squares.
Notes
Avoid overmixing to ensure the brownies remain fudgy. Check for doneness around the 20-minute mark.
