Outrageously Amazing One-Bowl 5-Ingredient Brownies
Description
Outrageously Amazing One-Bowl 5-Ingredient Brownies rely on high-quality dark or bittersweet chocolate melted with butter to provide a deeply chocolate flavor and smooth base. Sugar and eggs add sweetness and structure, while flour is folded in gently to avoid overmixing that can create cakey rather than chewy brownies. Baking in a 9x9 inch dish yields brownies with soft centers and slightly firmer edges.
The texture is chewy and moist rather than cakey, delivered by not overworking the batter and melting the chocolate properly. Allowing the brownies to cool adequately before cutting ensures cleaner slices and better texture.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces dark chocolate chips or bitter-sweet chocolate chips or baking chocolate
- 1 unsalted butter 1/2 stick (170 grams
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 egg large eggs plus 1 egg yolk, at room temperature

Instructions

- Remove from oven; let cool for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours), then cut into squares and serve!
