Print Recipe

A quick and easy fudgy brownie recipe made in one bowl without a mixer, delivering a rich, gooey center and crackly top perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup (75g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3/4 cup (95g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or chunks

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper, leaving a bit of overhang for easy removal.
  2. Melt the butter in a mixing bowl, preferably in the microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring in between until fully melted. Let it cool slightly to warm but not hot, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the sugar to the melted butter and stir until combined and shiny.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, stirring vigorously after each addition until the batter is glossy and smooth. Add the vanilla extract and mix in.
  5. Sift together the cocoa powder, flour, and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula or wooden spoon until no streaks of flour remain. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Optional: Fold in your choice of mix-ins like chopped nuts or chocolate chunks.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top evenly. Optionally, sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, checking at 20 minutes. The brownies are done when a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
  9. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack for 30-45 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs to avoid clumping. Sift dry ingredients to prevent lumps. Fold gently to keep brownies fudgy, not cakey. Start checking brownies at 20 minutes to avoid overbaking. Cool completely before slicing for clean cuts. For gluten-free, substitute almond flour; for dairy-free, use coconut oil and plant-based milk if needed.
