Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 4 units large eggs
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 cup optional mix-ins (e.g., chocolate chips, walnuts)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in the granulated sugar and vanilla extract until smooth.
Allow the butter mixture to cool slightly, then add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition.
In a separate bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
If using optional mix-ins like chocolate chips or walnuts, gently fold them into the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter).
Remove from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares.
Serve and enjoy your Easy Breezy Brownies!
