A quick and easy one-bowl brownie recipe that delivers chewy, fudgy brownies with perfect crispy edges. Made with simple pantry staples and minimal fuss.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup (95g) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 1/2 cup (50g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (90g) chocolate chips or chunks (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line your 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
  2. Melt the butter in your mixing bowl using the microwave or stovetop, being careful not to overheat; it should be just melted and warm.
  3. Whisk in both granulated and brown sugars until the mixture looks shiny and smooth, about 2 minutes by hand.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt, then slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula until just combined.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips or chunks if using, gently mixing without breaking them up too much.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top evenly with the back of a spoon or spatula.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, starting to check at 25 minutes by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs but not wet batter.
  9. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack for about 1 hour, then use the parchment overhang to lift the brownies out and slice into squares.

Notes

Use almond flour for a gluten-free option and coconut oil plus flax or chia egg substitute for a vegan version. Avoid overmixing to keep brownies fudgy. Let brownies cool completely before slicing for clean edges. Check oven temperature with a thermometer if possible.
