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 mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and sugar. Whisk until well combined and smooth.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Whisk until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Sift the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt into the wet ingredients. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- If using, fold in the chocolate chips. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Notes
Chef's Tips:
• For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips.
• Avoid overbaking to keep brownies fudgy.
• Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat.
Food Safety:
• Ensure eggs are at room temperature to prevent scrambling when mixed with melted butter.
• Store brownies in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
