🥘 Ingredients

11 items

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup whole milk
• 0.75 cup chocolate chips (optional)

📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

2. In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until smooth. Let the mixture cool slightly.

3. Add the eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

4. In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.

5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.

6. Pour in the milk and mix until the batter is smooth. If using chocolate chips, gently fold them into the batter.

7. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.

8. Bake in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean (a few crumbs are fine).

9. Remove the pan from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing into squares.
