Fudgy Brownies are rich, dense chocolate treats with a moist interior and a crackly top—perfect for indulgent dessert moments or a quick chocolate fix.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 4 oz semi-sweet or dark chocolate (chopped or chips)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp espresso powder (optional)
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips, nuts, or chunks (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a saucepan over low heat, melt butter and chocolate together, stirring until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs until pale and fluffy, about 1–2 minutes.
  4. Stir in the melted chocolate mixture and vanilla extract.
  5. Sift in flour, cocoa powder, salt, and espresso powder (if using). Gently fold until just combined—do not overmix.
  6. Fold in chocolate chips, nuts, or chunks, if using.
  7. Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth the top evenly.
  8. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter).
  9. Let cool in the pan for 30 minutes before slicing for clean edges.

Notes

  • Peanut butter or caramel swirls can be added before baking.
  • Use white or milk chocolate chunks for variation.
  • Add chopped walnuts or pecans for crunch.
  • Top with flaky sea salt before baking for contrast.
  • For gluten-free brownies, use a 1:1 GF flour blend.
