Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 6 tablespoons of unsalted butter by microwaving it for 30-40 seconds, or until fully melted.
Stir 1 cup of granulated sugar and 6 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder into the melted butter until the mixture is smooth.
Mix in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Add 2 large eggs to the bowl, one at a time, whisking well after each addition to fully incorporate them.
Sift in 1 cup of all-purpose flour and 0.25 teaspoon of salt, and gently fold the mixture together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
If desired, fold in 0.5 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips for extra richness.
Grease a microwave-safe 8x8-inch dish or line it with parchment paper. Pour the batter into the dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Microwave the dish on high power for 3-4 minutes. Begin checking for doneness at the 3-minute mark by inserting a toothpick into the center; if it comes out with only a few moist crumbs, the brownies are ready. Cooking time may vary based on microwave wattage.
Let the brownies cool for at least 5 minutes before slicing into squares and serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
