Classic Fudgy Brownies
Report
Made right in the saucepan, you won't believe how easy it is to make brownies from scratch with dense fudgy centers and shiny, crackly tops!

Ingredients
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter
- 4 oz semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate bar chopped
- 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs at room temperature
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp espresso powder optional but recommended
- 1/2 cup chopped dark chocolate (or your favorite chocolate)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and lightly spray an 8x8” baking dish with nonstick spray. Trim a piece of parchment so it covers the bottom of the dish, but is long so it goes up and over the sides of the dish. This creates a “sling”, and will help you remove the brownies from the pan very easily.
- In a large saucepan, add butter and melt over MED heat. Add 4 oz chopped chocolate and melt. Turn off the burner and remove pan. Whisk in brown sugar and granulated sugar, until smooth and creamy.
- Add in eggs, one at a time, making sure to whisk well after each addition. Add vanilla and stir until combined.
- At this point, you might want to switch to a rubber spatula. Add cocoa powder, flour, salt, and espresso powder, stirring until JUST combined and no flour or cocoa powder streaks remain. Gently stir in the chopped dark chocolate.
- Pour batter into prepared baking pan, using the rubber spatula to scrape all the batter out of the saucepan. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until center is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Let pan cool on wire rack before trying to slice. Then slice into squares and enjoy!
Notes
- All ovens cook differently, and even something as simple as the pan used can effect the amount of time brownies need to bake.
- In general, metal pans bake quicker than glass. Most brownie recipes, this one included, have a range for the baking times.
- My advice, is to check the brownies a couple of minutes before listed in the directions; when you smell a super chocolatey smell in your kitchen. You'd rather check a few times and have perfectly cooked brownies, than end up accidentally over-baking them.
