Made with common pantry ingredients and prepared in just one bowl, these brownies have a rich, fudgy texture and can be customized with your favorite mix-ins such as chocolate chips or walnuts. Perfect for a quick dessert or an indulgent snack, this recipe delivers classic homemade brownies without any fuss.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 9 to 12 brownies

Ingredients

Brownie Batter

  • 1/2 cup butter or oil
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (preferably Dutch-processed)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (omit if using salted butter)

Add-Ins

  • 1/2 cup favorite add-ins (chopped dark chocolate, chocolate chips, or walnuts)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, melt the butter or prepare the oil. Add the sugar and whisk thoroughly until well combined. Incorporate the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition, followed by the vanilla extract to create a smooth, slightly glossy mixture.
  2. Add the Dry Ingredients: Sift the cocoa powder, flour, and salt (if using) into the wet ingredients. Gently fold the dry components into the wet mixture with a spatula, ensuring everything is just combined without overmixing to keep the brownies tender.
  3. Incorporate Add-Ins: Fold in your chosen add-ins—such as chopped dark chocolate, chocolate chips, or walnuts—to evenly distribute them throughout the batter.
  4. Transfer and Bake: Pour the batter into a greased or parchment-lined brownie pan, smoothing the top to create an even layer. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (177°C) for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs but not wet batter.
  5. Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. This ensures they set properly, giving you that perfect fudgy texture with every bite.

Notes

  • For extra fudgy brownies, slightly underbake and allow them to cool fully before cutting.
  • Using Dutch-processed cocoa powder provides a richer chocolate flavor.
  • If using salted butter, omit the added salt in the batter to prevent oversalting.
  • Customize the texture by choosing different add-ins such as nuts for crunch or more chocolate chips for gooeyness.
  • Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
