Description

These One-Bowl Brownies are an easy, fudgy treat made with just a few ingredients and minimal cleanup. Perfect for chocolate lovers, they deliver a rich, decadent flavor with a crackly top and gooey center. Whether you’re a seasoned baker or a beginner, this one-bowl recipe makes it simple to bake a batch of irresistible brownies.


Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup salted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large whole eggs
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, cocoa powder, and sugar. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the flour, mixing until just incorporated. The batter will be slightly lumpy.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  6. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  7. Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until the center is slightly set.
  8. Let the brownies cool for 10 minutes before cutting into squa

Notes

  • For added crunch, try adding 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans.
  • You can customize the flavor by swirling in peanut butter or caramel sauce, or using mint chocolate chips.
  • A pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder will add a subtle spicy kick to your brownies.
