Method
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips if using.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, use the parchment paper to lift the brownies out of the pan and cut into squares. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Chef's Tips:
• For a crackly top, use room temperature eggs and beat them well into the sugar mixture.
• Avoid overmixing the batter to prevent tough brownies.
• Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat.
Food Safety:
• Ensure eggs are fresh and stored properly
• Store brownies in an airtight container to maintain freshness
