These one-bowl fudgy brownies are rich, chocolatey, and come together in under 10 minutes—no mixer, no complicated steps. Perfect for when you need a quick dessert that still tastes bakery-quality.

Ingredients

½ cup (1 stick) melted butter
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
½ cup all-purpose flour
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp baking powder
½ cup chocolate chips (optional, but recommended)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat & prep

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2: Mix wet ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter and sugar until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla extract, and whisk until fully combined.

Step 3: Add dry ingredients

Stir in cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Mix until just combined—don’t overmix.

Step 4: Fold in chocolate chips

Gently fold in chocolate chips for extra richness.

Step 5: Bake

Pour the batter into your prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the center is just set (a toothpick should come out with a few moist crumbs).

Step 6: Cool & serve

Let brownies cool completely before cutting for clean slices.

Tips for Success

Slightly underbake for extra fudgy brownies
Add walnuts or pecans for a crunch
Sprinkle flaky salt on top before baking for a sweet-salty twist
Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days

Final Thoughts

These brownies are the ultimate easy dessert—minimal cleanup, maximum flavor. Once you try them, they’ll quickly become your go-to chocolate fix.
