Description
Rich, fudgy brownies with deep chocolate flavor made in one bowl. Crisp edges, a soft center, and melty chocolate chips in every bite. Perfect for quick desserts or bake sales.
Ingredients
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla powder
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips, divided
1 tablespoon powdered sugar, optional for dusting
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C)
Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal
Melt butter in a microwave-safe bowl (in 20-second bursts) or a saucepan, then let cool for 3 minutes
Add melted butter and sugar to a mixing bowl; whisk for 45–60 seconds until glossy
Whisk in eggs and vanilla powder for 1 minute until smooth
Sprinkle in cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder; fold with a spatula until no dry streaks remain
Fold in 1/2 cup chocolate chips; reserve remaining 1/4 cup to sprinkle on top
Spread batter evenly in the prepared pan; dust with remaining chocolate chips and optional powdered sugar
Bake for 25 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs
Cool completely in the pan before slicing into 16 portions
Notes
For best results, let brownies cool completely before slicing.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
Optional: Add chopped nuts or swap chocolate chips for dairy-free alternatives.
