These seriously fudgy homemade brownies are rich, dense, and deeply chocolatey with a delicate crackly top. Made in one bowl with simple pantry ingredients, they deliver an indulgent texture and intense cocoa flavor in every bite.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
  3. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, whisking until the mixture is glossy and slightly thickened.
  4. Sift in the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Gently fold until just combined.
  5. Stir in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Bake for 28–32 minutes, until the edges are set and the center is slightly soft. Do not overbake.
  8. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares.

Notes

  • For extra crunch, add chopped walnuts or pecans.
  • Swap chocolate chips for dark chocolate chunks for a richer flavor.
  • Swirl peanut butter or cream cheese into the batter before baking for variation.
  • Add 1 teaspoon espresso powder to enhance the chocolate flavor.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or refrigerate for up to 1 week.
  • Freeze tightly wrapped squares for up to 3 months.
