Step by step how to cook Easy Brownie Recipe:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil, leaving a 1-inch overhang on all sides. Spray lightly with nonstick spray and set aside..
- In a medium heatproof bowl set over a pot of barely simmering water, melt the chocolate and butter, stirring constantly until the mixture is smooth..
- You can also microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each one..
- Whisk in the sugar while the chocolate is still hot and set aside to cool slightly. Note: It’s important to add the sugar while the melted chocolate is hot. The sugar will melt ensuring the baked brownies aren’t grainy..
- Add the eggs, egg yolk, and vanilla. Whisk until the batter looks smooth and shiny, about 1 minute. Note: Let the chocolate mixture cool before adding the eggs so they don’t scramble. Then whisk them in really well with the vanilla..
- Add the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Take care not to overmix..
- Use a silicone spatula to fold until no visible streaks of flour remain..
- Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes..
- Or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs clinging to it..
- Cool on a wire rack to room temperature, about 2 hours, then remove from the pan and cut into squares..
- Make Ahead Tip: Brownies can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 1 week. Brownies can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight and bring to room temperature before serving..
- Main Brownie Ingredients: Butter – is necessary for a rich, chewy brownie. Chocolate – use both melted baking chocolate and cocoa powder. Sugar – not only will sugar add sweetness, it will also melt during baking and help with the chewiness. Flour – the more flour you use, the cakier a brownie will be. Typically I use 1 cup of flour for super fudgy brownies but for this recipe, I added 1/4 cup more. Eggs – the main structure of brownies. I also added an extra egg yolk to get more chewiness..
