The Best Homemade Brownie Recipe
Description
The Best Homemade Brownie Recipe combines salted butter, canola oil, milk chocolate, dark chocolate, and unsweetened cocoa to create a dense and flavorful chocolate base. Sugar and vanilla add sweetness and aroma, while eggs provide structure and richness. Baking powder and salt balance the ingredients and improve texture.
The batter produces brownies with a firm, fudgy consistency and a glossy, slightly crackled top. Folding in semi-sweet chocolate chips and optional walnuts adds bursts of chocolate and crunch throughout. Baking in a parchment-lined 9x13 pan ensures even cooking and easy removal.
These brownies are best cooled before cutting to allow the texture to set. They can be served plain or frosted, offering a classic, richly chocolaty dessert suitable for many occasions where a reliable chocolate treat is desired.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup butter salted
- 1/4 cup canola oil or vegetable oil
- 4 oz. milk chocolate chopped
- 4 oz. dark chocolate chopped
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder unsweetened
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 egg
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup walnuts optional, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F. Line a 9 x 13 pan with nonstick cooking spray and parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large pot over medium-low heat, melt butter, oil, chocolate, and cocoa together until fully melted and smooth. Remove from heat.
- Pour in sugar and vanilla extract. Add in eggs, 1 at a time, stirring vigorously before the next addition. After all four eggs have been mixed in, the batter should be thick and smooth without that granular look to it. Add in the remaining dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not over mix.
- Fold in milk chocolate chips and walnuts if using, and pour batter into prepared pan. Smooth the top and bake 30-35 minutes. Cool at least 15 minutes before cutting and serving. Or, cool completely and frost with this recipe.
