Ultimate Fudge Brownies
Deep, rich chocolate flavor, a crackly top, and an irresistibly fudgy center—all made in one bowl with simple ingredients!
Ingredients: Makes One 8 x 8 Pan
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar (for extra chewiness)
- 3 large eggs + 1 egg yolk (adds richness)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon espresso powder (optional, enhances chocolate flavor)
- 1 cup chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
- Whisk melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and glossy.
- Add eggs one at a time, followed by the extra yolk and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.
- Sift in cocoa powder, flour, salt, and espresso powder (if using). Fold gently until just combined—don’t overmix!
- Stir in chocolate chips and spread the batter evenly into the pan.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool completely before slicing. For ultra-fudgy brownies, chill in the fridge for an hour before cutting.
