Print Recipe

A rich and fudgy brownie recipe with a crackly top and gooey center, perfect for chocolate lovers and easy to make with simple pantry ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups (400g) granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 3/4 cup (75g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon espresso powder (optional)
  • 1 cup (175g) dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
  2. Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl or on the stove over low heat. Let it cool slightly but don’t let it solidify.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the melted butter and granulated sugar. Stir well until glossy and smooth.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, beating vigorously after each addition until fully incorporated. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and espresso powder.
  6. Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients using a rubber spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Fold in the dark chocolate chips.
  8. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan and smooth the surface.
  9. Bake for 30-35 minutes, starting to check at 30 minutes. The edges should be set and the center slightly soft but not jiggly. A toothpick inserted should come out with a few moist crumbs.
  10. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack to allow the fudgy center to set.
  11. Once cooled, lift the brownies out using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into squares and enjoy.

Notes

Use melted butter (not softened) for best texture. Avoid overmixing to prevent cakey brownies. Let eggs come to room temperature before mixing. Espresso powder is optional but enhances chocolate flavor without coffee taste. Start checking brownies at 30 minutes to avoid overbaking. For gluten-free, substitute flour with almond flour or gluten-free blend. For dairy-free, use vegan butter and dairy-free chocolate chips.
