There is nothing quite like the taste of a homemade brownie. Rich, chocolatey and oh so delicious, brownies are a timeless treat that everyone loves. And the best part is, making them at home is so easy! With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can whip up a batch of homemade brownies that will rival any bakery’s.
To start, gather your ingredients. You will need cocoa powder, flour, sugar, eggs, butter, and vanilla extract. You can also add in some extra ingredients like chocolate chips, nuts, or even a swirl of peanut butter if you’re feeling adventurous.
Once you have all your ingredients, it’s time to get baking. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9 inch baking pan. In a small bowl, mix together the cocoa powder and flour until well combined. In a separate, larger bowl, beat together the sugar and eggs until light and fluffy. Then, slowly stir in the melted butter and vanilla extract. Once the wet ingredients are well mixed, gradually add in the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the brownies tough.
If you are adding in any extra ingredients, now is the time to gently fold them in. Once everything is mixed together, pour the batter into your prepared baking pan and smooth it out with a spatula. Place the pan in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
Once your brownies are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool in the pan for a few minutes before cutting them into squares and serving. And there you have it, delicious homemade brownies made easy!
Not only are homemade brownies easy to make, but they also taste so much better than anything you can buy at the store. Plus, you can customize them to your liking by adding in your favorite mix-ins. Whether you like them plain and simple or loaded with extra chocolate and nuts, the possibilities are endless.
So why not give homemade brownies a try? With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can treat yourself to a batch of rich, fudgy brownies that will satisfy any sweet tooth. Go ahead and get baking- you won’t be disappointed!
