These Fudgy Chocolate Brownies are the ultimate indulgence for chocolate lovers seeking that rich, gooey texture that melts in your mouth. With a perfect balance of sweetness and deep chocolate flavor, these brownies aren’t only easy to make but also incredibly satisfying.
They’re ideal for any occasion, whether it’s a family gathering, a potluck, or just a cozy night in with a movie. The secret to achieving that fudgy consistency lies in the combination of melted chocolate and cocoa powder, along with the careful balance of ingredients.
Topped with a sprinkle of sea salt or served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, these brownies offer a deliciously decadent treat that will leave everyone craving more. Plus, they can be whipped up in no time!
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal of the brownies after baking.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and granulated sugar, whisking together until fully combined. The mixture should be smooth and slightly glossy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until the mixture is well incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to tougher brownies.
- If desired, fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips for an extra chocolatey experience. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Be careful not to overbake, as this will lead to drier brownies.
- Once baked, remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Use the parchment paper (if used) to lift them out of the pan and place them onto a wire rack to cool completely before cutting.
Extra Tips:
For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding chopped nuts or swirling in some peanut butter or Nutella before baking. If you want to enhance the flavor even more, try adding a tablespoon of espresso powder to the batter.
For those who prefer a more cake-like brownie, simply add an additional egg to the batter, which will create a lighter texture.
Enjoy your fudgy chocolate brownies warm or at room temperature!
