Here’s a fantastic recipe for the best fudgiest brownies that you can make at home. These brownies are rich, dense, and full of chocolatey goodness. Enjoy!
Ingredients
- 1 cup (230g) unsalted butter
- 8 oz (225g) semi-sweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
- 1 and 1/2 cups (300g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (100g) packed light brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup (25g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (175g) chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to lift the brownies out easily once they are cooled. Set aside.
- Melt the butter and semi-sweet chocolate together in a large heat-proof bowl. You can use the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring after each increment until completely smooth. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.
- Whisk the granulated and brown sugars into the cooled chocolate mixture. Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking until smooth after each addition. Add the vanilla extract and whisk again.
- Sift the flour, cocoa powder, and salt together in a medium bowl. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix. If you’re adding chocolate chips, fold them in now.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with your spatula. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the brownies begin to pull away from the edges of the pan and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan set on a wire rack. Once cooled, lift the parchment paper out of the pan using the overhang on the sides and cut into squares.

Enjoy your delicious, fudgy brownies!
