If you’re looking for the best fudgy brownies, here’s a simple and decadent recipe that should satisfy your chocolate cravings:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Melt the Butter:
- In a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter in the microwave. Allow it to cool slightly.
- Mix Wet Ingredients:
- Add the sugar to the melted butter and stir until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Combine Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures:
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Add Chocolate Chips:
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips or chunks. This will add extra gooeyness to the brownies.
- Bake:
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Be careful not to overbake if you want fudgy brownies.
- Cool and Cut:
- Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, cut into squares.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve the fudgy brownies as is or with a scoop of ice cream for an extra treat.
These brownies are rich, moist, and full of chocolate flavor. Adjust the baking time based on your desired level of fudginess, and feel free to add nuts or swirl in some caramel or peanut butter for added indulgence.
