Fudgy Homemade Brownies

Written By Shelly Henderson

📝 Ingredients

2 sticks (1 cup) butter, melted

1 ½ cups sugar

4 large eggs

1 cup sifted all-purpose flour

2/3 cup cocoa powder

¼ tsp salt

½ tsp vanilla extract

💡 Pro Tip: Sifting the flour and cocoa powder ensures super smooth, fudgy brownies.

🔥 Instructions

Step 1: Preheat & Prep

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 11×13-inch glass dish or line silicone brownie molds.

Step 2: Mix Batter

Melt the butter and pour into a mixing bowl. Add sugar, eggs, flour, cocoa powder, salt, and vanilla. Mix just until combined — overmixing can make brownies cakier.

Step 3: Bake

Pour batter into your prepared pan or molds. Bake for 35 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick comes out mostly clean.

Step 4: Cool & Serve

Allow brownies to cool in the pan before slicing. Serve warm for gooey bites or at room temperature.

🌟 Tips & Variations

  • Extra fudgy: Slightly underbake by 2–3 minutes.
