Recipe Inspiration
This recipe makes rich, dense, fudgy Homemade Brownies with crisp, crackly tops—every time! Plus, they’re super easy and come together with just a bowl and a whisk.
– Butter: I use melted butter instead of oil, for extra richness. – Sugar: You can use plain granulated sugar, or swap out raw sugar if you prefer. – Vanilla: Pure vanilla extract gives the best flavor. – Eggs: You’ll need four whole, large eggs. – Flour: Use whole wheat flour or all-purpose, it’s up to you! – Cocoa: Using cocoa powder gives these brownies an extra-deep chocolate flavor, compared to brownies made with melted chocolate. – Salt: a bit of salt balances out the sweetness and adds incredible flavor – Chocolate Chips: These are optional! Sprinkle them on top, mix them into the batter, or leave them out.

Get Ready to Bake. First things first! Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a 9×13 pan with foil or parchmet. Spray the lined pan with non-stick spray.0

Combine the Liquid Ingredients. In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, the sugar, and the vanilla; whisk until smooth. Then whisk in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
3
Add the Dry Ingredients. Stir the flour, cocoa and salt into the wet ingredients, just until combined.

Bake! Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan, and bake for 24-30 minutes. You’ll know they’re done when a toothpick inserted into the baked brownies comes out with just a few moist crumbs. Keep in mind that the brownies will continue to set after baking.
