This easy, no-fail recipe delivers chewy, fudgy brownies with perfect crackly edges every time. Made with simple pantry staples, it’s perfect for beginners and seasoned bakers alike.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups (400g) granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup (75g) unsweetened cocoa powder, natural or Dutch-processed
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch pan with butter or line with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
  2. Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl or on the stove until fully liquid but not browned. Let it cool slightly.
  3. Whisk together sugar and melted butter in a large bowl until combined and shiny.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, sift cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder.
  6. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula. Mix just until no flour streaks remain.
  7. Optional: Fold in nuts or chocolate chips if using.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  9. Bake for 25-28 minutes. Check at 25 minutes by inserting a toothpick; it should come out with a few moist crumbs.
  10. Cool completely on a wire rack for at least 1 hour to develop chewy texture and edges.
  11. Lift brownies out using parchment overhang, cut into 16 squares, and enjoy.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to avoid cakey brownies. Use a metal pan for crisp edges. Cool brownies completely before cutting for best texture. Tent with foil if edges brown too quickly.
