Homemade Brownies 🍫

Rich, fudgy, and irresistibly chocolatey — these brownies melt in your mouth!

Ingredients

• 1 cup (225g) butter, melted
• 2 cups (400g) granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
• 1 cup (85g) unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup (90g) chocolate chips (optional for topping or mixing in)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
2. Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, sugar, and vanilla until combined. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking after each addition.
3. Mix dry ingredients: In another bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
4. Combine: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined (do not overmix). Stir in half of the chocolate chips if desired.
5. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top.
6. Bake for 25–30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
7. Cool completely before slicing into squares. Enjoy your rich, fudgy brownies!
