Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 ½ cups (300g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup packed (110g) light brown sugar
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup (75g) unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon espresso powder (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (170g) chocolate chips or chopped chocolate (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a little overhang on the sides for easy lifting.
  2. Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl or on the stove. Let it cool slightly.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until combined and glossy.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until the batter is smooth and thick.
  5. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, espresso powder, and salt.
  6. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a rubber spatula. Stop folding as soon as no flour streaks remain to avoid overmixing.
  7. Fold in the chocolate chips or chopped chocolate if using.
  8. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan, spreading to all corners.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes. Check at 25 minutes by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
  10. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack for at least one hour.
  11. Use the parchment overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan, then slice into 16 squares and enjoy.

Notes

Let the melted butter cool before mixing with eggs to prevent scrambling. Fold dry ingredients gently to keep brownies fudgy, not cakey. Use good-quality cocoa powder and chocolate for best flavor. Check baking time closely to avoid overbaking. Cool completely before slicing for clean cuts; refrigerate for 15 minutes if needed.
