Ultimate Fudgy Brownie Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter
• 1 cup (175g) semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate
• 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup (50g) brown sugar (for that extra chewiness)
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup (65g) all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup (30g) unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• Optional: 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, extra chocolate chunks, or swirl of Nutella 😍

👨‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Prep First:

• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
• Line an 8×8 inch (20×20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly.

2. Melt Chocolate & Butter:

• In a saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, melt butter and chocolate together.
• Stir until smooth and let it cool slightly.

3. Whisk the Wet Stuff:

• Add in granulated sugar and brown sugar, whisk until combined.
• Add eggs one at a time, mixing well.
• Stir in vanilla extract.

4. Add the Dry Ingredients:

• Sift in flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
• Gently fold everything together until no flour streaks remain.
• Don’t overmix—this keeps the brownies nice and fudgy.

5. Bake:

• Pour the batter into your prepared pan and smooth the top.
• Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter!).

6. Cool & Slice:

• Let brownies cool completely in the pan before slicing for clean edges (or dive in warm if you’re impatient—we get it).

💡 Tips:

• Want extra fudgy brownies? Underbake slightly.
• Craving cakier brownies? Add one more egg and a touch more flour.
• Add a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking for gourmet vibes.
