Here’s a recipe for delicious fudgy brownies:
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter
- 8 oz (226g) semi-sweet chocolate, chopped (or chocolate chips)
- 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup (50g) brown sugar, packed
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup (65g) all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp (12g) cocoa powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch (20×20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang to easily lift the brownies out later.
- Melt Butter and Chocolate: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and chopped chocolate over medium heat, stirring constantly until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- Mix Sugars and Eggs: In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs until well combined. Add in the vanilla extract and mix again.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: Pour the slightly cooled chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and whisk until fully combined.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Do not overbake to keep the brownies fudgy.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, lift them out using the parchment paper overhang, cut into squares, and enjoy!
Tips for Extra Fudgy Brownies
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor.
- Don’t overmix the batter once you add the dry ingredients.
- Slightly underbake the brownies for an extra fudgy texture.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting to get clean edges.
Enjoy your homemade fudgy brownies!
