Homemade Brownie Recipe
Description
The Homemade Brownie Recipe involves mixing melted butter, vegetable oil, granulated and brown sugars, eggs, and vanilla extract to create a rich base. The dry ingredients include all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt, sifted and folded carefully into the wet mixture along with chocolate chips. After baking in a parchment-lined dish, the brownies develop a dense yet tender crumb with pockets of melted chocolate from the chips. Toppings like sprinkles, toffee bits, crushed cookies, candies, or nuts can be added before baking to add variety in texture and flavor.
The brownies can be served as a classic snack or dessert cut into squares, offering a moist interior with a slightly crisp edge depending on baking time. Their rich chocolate presence satisfies chocolate lovers and pairs well with milk or coffee.
Storing brownies after cooling is recommended and can be done at room temperature for a few days, refrigerated longer, or frozen up to three months. Cutting tips suggest using a plastic knife while brownies are slightly warm for neat slices.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter melted and cooled
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1¼ cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup light brown sugar packed
- 4 egg room temperature
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cocoa powder unsweetened
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup chocolate chips milk or semisweet, divided
Toppings
- Sprinkles optional, cookie crumbs from Oreos, crushed; chopped
- Toffee bits
- cookie crumbs
- candies
- nuts
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9x11-inch baking dish, line it with parchment paper, and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine melted butter, oil, and both sugars and whisk well.
- Add eggs and vanilla and mix for another 2 minutes.
- In another bowl, sift flour, cocoa, salt, and baking powder.
- Fold dry ingredients into wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in ¾ cup chocolate chips.
- Pour batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth out until even. Top with remaining ¼ cup chocolate chips and any other desired toppings and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the middle no longer jiggles.
- Let sit in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then remove from the pan and let cool completely before cutting.
Notes
- Use a plastic knife to cut the brownies when slightly cooled for clean slices.
- Store cooled brownies covered at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the fridge for 5-7 days.
- Freeze brownies wrapped in plastic and in a freezer bag for up to 3 months for longer storage.
