This homemade brownies recipe yields rich, fudgy brownies with a perfect balance of sweetness and chocolate flavor. Made with simple ingredients like butter, sugars, eggs, cocoa powder, and flour, these brownies are easy to prepare and bake to perfection in just under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Melt Butter: Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Once melted, remove from the heat and allow it to cool slightly to avoid cooking the eggs in the next step.
  3. Mix Sugars and Butter: In a large bowl, combine the melted butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar. Mix well until the mixture is creamy and smooth.
  4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat the eggs into the sugar-butter mixture one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract for flavor.
  5. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add these dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently until just combined to avoid overmixing.
  6. Bake the Brownies: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes. The brownies are done when a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs.

Notes

  • For fudgier brownies, slightly underbake by reducing the baking time by 2-3 minutes.
  • To make cleanup easier, line the baking pan with parchment paper.
  • Allow brownies to cool completely before cutting to ensure clean slices.
  • Add nuts or chocolate chips for extra texture if desired.
  • Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
