Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to whip up these scrumptious brownies:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Now that we have our ingredients ready, let’s get to the fun part—baking these brownies!
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the sugar until well combined.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder until well blended. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- If you’re feeling extra indulgent, fold in the chocolate chips to the batter for that extra chocolatey goodness.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter).
- Let the brownies cool in the pan before cutting into squares. Serve them warm or at room temperature, and enjoy the rich, chocolaty flavors!
These brownies are sure to be a hit, whether you’re serving them at a gathering or indulging in a cozy night in. Happy baking!
