Here’s a rich, fudgy brownie recipe with a soft, gooey center and a slightly crackly top. 🍫
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (115 g) butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional but recommended)
Instructions
- Preheat oven
Heat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper. - Melt the butter
Melt butter in a saucepan or microwave. Stir in the sugar while warm. - Add eggs & vanilla
Beat in eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla until smooth. - Mix dry ingredients
Stir in cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder until just combined. - Add chocolate chips
Fold in chocolate chips for extra fudginess. - Bake
Pour batter into the pan and bake 20–25 minutes. The center should still look slightly soft. - Cool & cut
Let cool before cutting for the best fudgy texture.
💡 Tips for extra fudgy brownies
- Use dark cocoa powder for deeper chocolate flavor.
- Slightly underbake them for a gooier center.
- Add chopped walnuts or pecans for crunch.
