  • Total Time: 0 hours
  • Yield: 20-24 1x

Ingredients

Scale

For the Brownies:

  • 1 cup (2 sticks or 220 grams) unsalted butter
  • 2 1/4 cups (450 grams) granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs (about 200 grams)
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (125 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (100 grams) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon (3 grams) salt
  • 1 teaspoon (4 grams) baking powder
  • 1 cup (175 grams) semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)

For the Optional Frosting:

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick or 110 grams) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup (25 grams) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) milk
  • 2 cups (240 grams) powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease a 9×13 inch (23×33 cm) baking pan with butter or non-stick spray, or line with parchment paper.
  3. Melt the Butter and Mix with Sugar: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Remove from heat and stir in the granulated sugar until well combined. Let cool slightly.
  4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Transfer the butter and sugar mixture to a large mixing bowl. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently just until combined.
  6. Add Chocolate Chips (Optional): Fold in the chocolate chips, if using.
  7. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Cool and Frost (Optional): Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. If adding frosting, prepare it while the brownies cool.
  9. Prepare the Frosting (Optional): In a medium bowl, beat together the softened butter, cocoa powder, milk, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Spread the frosting over the cooled brownies.
  10. Serve: Cut into squares and serve.

Notes

  • Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure your eggs are at room temperature to mix well with the batter.
  • Don’t Overbake: Bake just until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs to keep the brownies fudgy.
  • Let Them Cool: Allowing the brownies to cool completely makes them easier to cut and enhances their flavor.
