This is my go-to best brownie recipe with a rich chocolate flavor that my kids and husband LOVE! Its super easy to make and the brownies always come out soft and chewy with a crinkly top. Serve them warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and your brownie lovers will be in heaven!
- 3/4 cup melted butter (unsalted butter)
- 1 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 eggs (room temperature eggs)
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup flour (all purpose)
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
Preheat oven to 350F degrees and grease an 8 inch pan.
In a small saucepan, add the butter over medium low heat and cook until the butter comes to a slight simmer, about 5 minutes.
In a large bowl, stir the melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Then add in your dry ingredients, the cocoa, flour, salt, and baking powder.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the center is set. Check by placing a toothpick or knife into the center of the brownies. When you can pull the toothpick or knife out without brownie batter sticking they are done.
Allow to cool for 20-30 minutes before slicing and serving.
