BEST Brownie Recipe

This brownie recipe produces a semi-sweet, chocolate-rich square with a shiny, slightly crackled top. The batter blends sugar, cocoa powder, chocolate chips, and a mix of eggs, oil, water, and vanilla to create a fudgy yet set texture. Baking in an 8x8 pan lined with parchment allows easy removal. The inclusion of powdered sugar enhances the sheen and subtle sweetness, while chocolate chips add melty pockets throughout.

Description

The BEST Brownie Recipe combines sugar, flour, unsweetened cocoa, powdered sugar, salt, and chocolate chips dry. Wet ingredients include eggs, vegetable oil, water, and vanilla extract. Mixing the wet and dry components forms a smooth batter with evenly dispersed chips.

Baked at 325°F in a parchment-lined square pan for about 40 minutes, the brownies develop a shiny, slightly crackled top indicating doneness. Optionally, additional chocolate chips can be sprinkled on halfway through baking to enhance chocolate pockets on the surface.

These brownies have a fudgy texture balanced by a moderate crumb. The recipe’s simplicity and use of common ingredients make it accessible. Cooling before slicing ensures clean pieces. They can be enjoyed as a dessert or snack alongside coffee or milk.

Ingredients

Servings

Ingredients:

  • 1 ½ cup sugar
  • ¾ cup flour
  • cup cocoa powder unsweetened
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup chocolate chips semi-sweet
  • 2 egg large
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 Tablespoon water
  • 1 tsp vanilla

Instructions

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees
  2. Line an 8x8 square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an extra two inches over the sides for easy removal of the brownies whey they have finished baking.
  3. Lightly spray or butter the other exposed sides of the pan. Set the pan aside until the batter is ready.
  4. In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the sugar, flour, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, salt and chocolate chips.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, or stand mixer, mix the eggs, oil, water and vanilla together.
  6. Gradually add in the flour mixture and continue mixing until the dry ingredients are completely mixed in with the egg mixture.
  7. Evenly pour the batter into the lined pan, using a spoon or spatula to evenly distribute the batter.
  8. Bake on the center rack, in the middle of the oven for about 40 minutes.
  9. Optional: Sprinkle a handful of chocolate chips on top of the brownies about halfway into the baking process.
  10. Brownies will be done when the top looks shiny.
