Homemade Brownies recipe

🍳 Instructions

1. Preheat Oven

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan or line with parchment paper.

2. Melt Butter & Mix Sugar

  • In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
  • Remove from heat and stir in sugar until well combined.

3. Add Eggs & Vanilla

  • Beat in eggs one at a time.
  • Stir in vanilla extract.

4. Add Dry Ingredients

  • Sift together cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder.
  • Gradually mix dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  • Optional: fold in chocolate chips or nuts.

5. Bake

  • Pour batter into the prepared pan.
  • Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (do not overbake for fudgy brownies).

6. Cool & Serve

  • Let brownies cool in the pan for at least 10–15 minutes.
  • Cut into squares and serve plain, with ice cream, or drizzle with chocolate sauce.

💡 Tips

  • For extra fudgy brownies, reduce flour to ⅓ cup and bake for slightly less time.
  • For cakier brownies, add an extra egg.
  • Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top before baking for a gourmet touch.

I can also give you a one-bowl, no-mixer homemade brownie recipe that’s super quick and ultra fudgy. Do you want me to share that version too?
