A simple, quick, and delicious one-bowl recipe for rich, fudgy brownies that require minimal cleanup and pantry staples only. Perfect for busy weeknights or last-minute dessert cravings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (113 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50 g) packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup (95 g) all-purpose flour, sifted if possible
  • 1/3 cup (35 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 4 ounces (113 g) bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the melted unsalted butter and chopped bittersweet chocolate. Melt together gently using a microwave in 20-second bursts or a double boiler until smooth and glossy.
  3. Stir in granulated sugar and brown sugar until combined. Whisk in eggs one at a time, fully incorporating each before adding the next. Add vanilla extract and mix until the batter is thick and shiny.
  4. In a separate small bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula or wooden spoon. Stop mixing once no streaks of flour remain.
  5. Fold in optional add-ins like nuts or chocolate chips if desired.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly. Use a spatula dipped in water to smooth the top.
  7. Bake for 22 to 25 minutes. Start checking at 22 minutes by inserting a toothpick near the center; a few moist crumbs are ideal.
  8. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for better texture. Avoid overmixing after adding flour to prevent cakey brownies. Start checking baking time early to maintain fudgy texture. Customize with nuts, chocolate chips, or spices like cinnamon or cayenne. For gluten-free, substitute almond flour; for dairy-free, use coconut oil and dairy-free chocolate chips.
