Description

These brownies are the best I’ve ever had! They are super creamy and chocolatey. The salt and sweet mix together perfectly to form the best brownies ever!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Butter (salted)
  • 2 cups White Sugar
  • 4 whole Eggs, Beaten
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • ⅔ cups Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
  • 1 cup Flour
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • ½ teaspoons Baking Powder

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees (F). Grease and flour an 8×8 inch pan.

In a large saucepan, melt the butter. Once melted, remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in sugar, eggs and vanilla. Beat in cocoa, flour, salt and baking powder with a whisk.

Spread the batter into the greased/floured pan and bake for 25-30 minutes. Make sure to not over-cook!

Enjoy!

These brownies were soft & just the right amount of chewy and chocolatey. Perfect served right out of the oven with some ice cream! Thanks for sharing :)

Excellent! Super fast and just the right amount of chocolate. I poured in half a bag of leftover mint chips from Christmas too. Only change I’ll make next time is to use a 9×13. I love a think brownie but these took about 40+ minutes and still a little gooey in the middle (which is all good ofcourse!)

Very good and easy. Like other reviewers, mine took a lot longer to bake… probably between 40-45 minutes. This might be my inexperience but I didn’t quite understand the instructions to flour the pan… I didn’t think that was a necessary step. Still, turned out very nicely. Thanks!

These brownies were super easy to make, and were probably the best brownies I have ever eaten. So long boxed brownie mixes…I’m never going back!

These really are the best homemade brownies ever. Super simple and super delicious! I used a slightly larger pan because I like thinner brownies…and I added nuts and mini chocolate chips to the middle.
Thank you for sharing this recipe!
