The Best Brownies Ever are the ultimate treat for chocolate lovers—chewy, fudgy, and topped with a glossy, crackly finish. Made with butter, cocoa, and a few simple ingredients, these brownies have a rich, deep chocolate flavor. The recipe is versatile, and you can make them gluten-free or add your favorite mix-ins. Perfect for any occasion!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
  • Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter and granulated sugar until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla extract, whisking until combined.
  • Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
  • Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in chocolate chips, if using.
  • Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  • Cool and Serve: Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares and serving.

Notes

  • Nutty Brownies: Add 1 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans for extra crunch.
  • Marbled Cheesecake Brownies: Swirl in a mixture of cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla for a cheesecake twist.
  • Mint Chocolate Brownies: Add 1 teaspoon of peppermint extract and mint chocolate chips for a refreshing flavor.
