One Bowl Brownies

One Bowl Brownies are a dense and fudgy chocolate treat made by melting butter with sugars and water, then whisking in bittersweet chocolate chips, eggs, vanilla, and a blend of flour, salt, and baking soda. Additional chocolate chips folded in create pockets of melted chocolate. The batter is baked until a toothpick shows fudgy crumbs, producing a rich, chewy texture with a shiny exterior from the melted chocolate.

Notes

  • Use salted butter or increase salt to 3/4 teaspoon if using unsalted butter for flavor balance.
  • Light brown sugar is recommended for moderate sweetness and moisture.
  • Bittersweet chocolate chips (60% cacao) give the brownies a deeper chocolate flavor; semisweet chips can be used for sweeter brownies.
  • Increasing stirred in chocolate chips up to 1 cup adds more melted chocolate pockets.
  • Measure flour lightly by weighing or sifting for proper batter texture.
  • Brownies taste better after chilling overnight to firm up the texture.
