Ingredients

  • ½ cup butter melted
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ cup all purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x9-inch baking pan with oil or line it with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, microwave the melted butter for about 30 seconds until fully melted. Add the granulated sugar and mix until combined.
  • Add the eggs and vanilla extract. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  • Add the unsweetened cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder. Mix until the batter is fully combined.
  • Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  • Let the brownies cool before slicing and serving.

Notes

Tips for the Best Brownies

  • Do not overmix the batter or the brownies can become cakey.
  • Slightly underbake the brownies for a fudgier texture.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting for cleaner slices.
  • Use good quality cocoa powder for a richer chocolate flavor.
