The Best Chocolate Brownie Recipe

Make insanely delicious chocolate brownies with our recipe. Let’s get into it:

Ingredients

• 1 cup (200g / 7 oz) unsalted butter
• 2 cups (400g / 14 oz) granulated sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3/4 cup (90g / 3 oz) unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 cup (125g / 4.4 oz) all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 cup (175g / 6 oz) chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once it has melted, remove from heat and stir in the sugar until well combined. Let it cool slightly.
3. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, into the butter-sugar mixture. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. If using chocolate chips, fold them into the batter.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.
9. Remove from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares and removing them with our brownie spatula.

Notes

• Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can lead to tough brownies. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined. It's okay if there are a few lumps.
• Use the right pan: Use a metal or glass baking pan for even baking. Avoid dark-colored pans, as they can cause the edges of the brownies to overbake.
• Don't overbake: Brownies should be moist and fudgy, not dry and cakey. Check for doneness a few minutes before the recommended baking time, as oven temperatures can vary.
• Add mix-ins for extra flavor: Customize your brownies by adding nuts, chocolate chips, or swirls of caramel or peanut butter.
• Store them properly: Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a few days. You can also freeze them for longer storage.
