These fudgy chocolate brownies are a rich and decadent treat with a perfectly moist and chewy texture. Made with melted butter, cocoa powder, and optional chocolate chips, they are easy to prepare and baked to perfection in a 9×13-inch pan. Perfect for satisfying your chocolate cravings or sharing at gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Batter

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 175 °C (350 °F). Line a 9×13‑inch (23×33 cm) baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the melted butter and granulated sugar; stir until smooth and well blended for a uniform base.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to incorporate air and create a smooth batter. Then stir in the vanilla extract for flavor.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder to evenly distribute the leavening and chocolate flavor.
  5. Fold Dry into Wet: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined—be careful not to overmix to maintain a fudgy texture.
  6. Add Chocolate Chips: If desired, stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips for extra pockets of melted chocolate.
  7. Prepare for Baking: Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top evenly with a spatula to ensure even baking.
  8. Bake: Bake for about 25–30 minutes, or until the top is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
  9. Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before lifting them out with the parchment paper. Cut into squares and enjoy your fudgy chocolate brownies!

Notes

  • Do not overbake to keep the brownies fudgy; check for moist crumbs with a toothpick.
  • Using parchment paper makes it easier to lift brownies out of the pan without breaking.
  • For extra fudginess, slightly underbake by a few minutes.
  • Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
  • The chocolate chips are optional but highly recommended for extra chocolate bursts.
