Hello, dear readers! Today, I’m going to share with you a delicious recipe for homemade brownies. These brownies are made from scratch and are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth. So, let’s get started!
Ingredients
- 1 cup of unsalted butter
- 2 cups of granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tsp of vanilla extract
- 1 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup of cocoa powder
- 1/4 tsp of baking powder
- 1/4 tsp of salt
- 1 cup of chopped nuts (optional)
- 1 cup of chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
- Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Once melted, remove the saucepan from the heat.
- Add the sugar to the melted butter and stir until well combined. The mixture should be smooth and glossy.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, making sure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this to the butter mixture and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
- If using, fold in the nuts and chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Be careful not to overbake, as this can make the brownies dry.
- Let the brownies cool in the baking dish on a wire rack. Once cooled, cut into squares.
And there you have it – delicious, homemade brownies made from scratch! Enjoy these brownies with a glass of milk or a scoop of your favorite ice cream. Happy baking!
