Print Recipe

A quick and easy one-bowl brownie recipe that delivers rich, dense, and fudgy chocolate brownies with minimal mess and simple pantry ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (110g) packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup (75g) unsweetened Dutch-processed cocoa powder
  • 3/4 cup (95g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon espresso powder (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your pan by lining an 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper or greasing it thoroughly.
  2. Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second bursts until fully melted (about 45 seconds total). Let it cool slightly until warm, not hot.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until combined and glossy, about 1-2 minutes.
  4. Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the bowl and whisk vigorously until the mixture is smooth and lightened in color, about 1 minute.
  5. In a separate small bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, salt, and espresso powder (if using).
  6. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula or wooden spoon, mixing just until combined to avoid overmixing.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly with a spatula.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the edges are set but the center is slightly underbaked (a toothpick inserted should come out with a few moist crumbs).
  9. Cool the brownies completely in the pan on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
  10. Lift the brownies out using the parchment overhang and cut into 9 or 12 squares.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for smooth blending. Avoid overmixing after adding dry ingredients to keep brownies fudgy. Use good quality Dutch-processed cocoa powder and espresso powder to deepen chocolate flavor. Cool brownies completely before slicing for cleaner cuts. For a gooier center, reduce baking time by 1-2 minutes.
