Print Recipe

A quick and easy one-bowl brownie recipe delivering rich, fudgy, and dense chocolate brownies with minimal mess and simple pantry ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted gently
  • 6 oz (170g) bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, chopped or chips
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50g) brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup (95g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup (25g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a 9×9 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy lifting.
  2. Melt the butter and chocolate together in a heatproof bowl using a microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring each time, or use a double boiler until smooth and glossy (about 5 minutes).
  3. Stir in both granulated and brown sugar into the warm chocolate mixture until combined; the mixture may feel slightly grainy.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking vigorously after each addition to create a smooth, glossy batter. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt, then gently fold these dry ingredients into the chocolate batter using a spatula. Avoid overmixing; a few streaks of flour are okay.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Optionally, sprinkle chopped nuts or chocolate chunks on top.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the edges look set and slightly pull away from the pan but the center is still soft. A toothpick inserted should come out with moist crumbs.
  8. Cool completely in the pan. Use the parchment overhang to lift the brownies out and let rest for at least an hour before slicing.

Notes

Gently melt chocolate and butter to avoid seizing. Do not overmix after adding flour to keep fudgy texture. Use room temperature eggs for better batter consistency. Line pan with parchment paper for easy removal and cleaner slices. Check brownies at 25 minutes to avoid overbaking.
