Rich, fudgy brownies made with simple pantry ingredients, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (50 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2/3 cup (85 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
  • 1/2 cup (90 g) chocolate chips or chopped chocolate (optional)
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans; 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8-inch (20 cm) square pan with parchment, leaving overhang for easy lifting. Lightly grease the sides.
  2. Whisk melted butter and sugar in a medium bowl until glossy, about 30–60 seconds.
  3. Add eggs, one at a time, then add vanilla. Mix just until smooth and slightly thick.
  4. Sift in cocoa powder, flour, and salt. Fold with a spatula until no dry spots remain. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in chocolate chips or nuts, if using. Spread batter evenly in the prepared pan; level the top.
  6. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 22–26 minutes, until the edges are set and a toothpick in the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  7. Cool in the pan on a rack for at least 20–30 minutes. Lift out with parchment, slice into squares, and serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

For fudgy brownies, bake until the center has moist crumbs; do not wait for a clean toothpick. Store in an airtight container for 3–4 days at room temperature.
