Looking for the best chocolate fudge brownies recipe? These homemade brownies are rich, intensely fudgy, and incredibly easy to make. Perfect for chocolate lovers!
Ingredients
• 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/3 cup (35g) unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup (65g) all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar. Add the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Whisk well until smooth.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients: Sift in the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Fold gently with a spatula just until combined (do not overmix). Fold in chocolate chips if using.
4. Bake: Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 20-22 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with a few moist crumbs for that perfect fudgy texture.
5. Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares. Enjoy!
