If you’ve been craving that perfect balance of chocolatey goodness, then it’s time to bake up a batch of homemade chewy brownies. Let’s dive into this simple and delightful recipe that will leave everyone asking for more!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional, for extra decadence)
- Chopped nuts (optional, for added crunch)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan. You can also line the pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined and smooth.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, into the mixture, beating well after each addition. The batter should become glossy and creamy.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- For an extra indulgent touch, fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and chopped nuts of your choice.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the chewy brownies to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, cut them into squares of your desired size.
- Serve these delectable chewy brownies as they are or pair them with a scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream for the ultimate indulgence.
