Fudgy Brownies
These fudgy brownies blend the richness of chocolate with a chewy texture, delivering a moist center that melts in your mouth.
Ingredients
Brownie Base
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips optional
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts optional
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter completely. Stir in the granulated sugar until well combined.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Once warm, add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- If using, fold in chocolate chips and nuts.
- Pour brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
Baking
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow brownies to cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, cut into squares and enjoy.
