Print Recipe

A rich, fudgy brownie recipe made in one bowl with minimal cleanup, featuring a delightful sea salt topping that enhances the chocolate flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100g) packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup (95g) all-purpose flour, sifted (can substitute almond flour for gluten-free)
  • 1/2 cup (50g) unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • About 1 teaspoon sea salt flakes, for sprinkling on top
  • Optional: 1/2 cup (90g) semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
  2. Melt the butter in a mixing bowl using a microwave or double boiler. Stir in granulated and brown sugars until combined and glossy.
  3. Add eggs and vanilla extract to the bowl. Whisk vigorously until the batter lightens and becomes silky, about 1-2 minutes.
  4. Sift together flour, cocoa powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Gently fold into the wet ingredients using a spatula or spoon, being careful not to overmix.
  5. Fold in chocolate chips if using.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle sea salt flakes evenly over the surface.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, checking at 20 minutes with a toothpick. It should come out with moist crumbs, not clean.
  8. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for smoother batter. Don’t skip sifting dry ingredients to avoid lumps. Watch baking time closely to avoid overbaking. Sprinkle sea salt just before baking for a crunchy contrast. If batter is too thick, add a splash of milk or strong coffee to loosen and deepen flavor.
