Description

Decadent, fudgy cocoa brownies that are quick and easy to make with simple ingredients, perfect for chocolate lovers.


Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, mix melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Gradually add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix until just combined—do not overmix.
  5. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 25–30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  6. Let brownies cool completely before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense brownies.
  • Check doneness with a toothpick; it should come out with moist crumbs, not wet batter.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3–4 days.
