Print Recipe

Rich, dense, and irresistibly fudgy brownies with a crackly top and intense chocolate flavor. Perfect for dessert lovers who enjoy a decadent treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Stir in sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Mix in cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Fold in chocolate chips if using.
  5. Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly.
  6. Bake for 20–25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.

Notes

  • For extra fudginess, slightly underbake the brownies.
  • Add chopped nuts or swirl in peanut butter for variation.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days at room temperature.
