Description
Indulge in these warm, fudgy brownies with a rich dark chocolate flavor, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
- 1 teaspoon espresso powder (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
- Beat in flour, cocoa, salt, and chocolate chips until the mixture is well blended. Avoid overmixing for the fudgiest texture.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes. Check for doneness using a toothpick—aim for moist crumbs, not completely dry.
- Allow to cool before cutting into squares and serving.
Notes
To achieve the best fudgy texture, do not overbake and let cool completely before slicing.
