Brownie Batter
- 1 cup butter
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 whole large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Topping
- Chocolate chunks, for sprinkling on top
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350º F (175º C). Line a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper or grease and flour it well to prevent sticking.
- Melt Butter and Chocolate: In a microwave-safe mixing bowl, melt the butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips together by heating in 30-second intervals, stirring after each until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
- Add Sugar: Stir the granulated sugar into the melted butter and chocolate mixture until fully combined, creating a smooth blend.
- Incorporate Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time along with the vanilla extract, whisking thoroughly to blend the eggs completely into the mixture for a silky batter.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Gently fold in the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt until just combined, being careful not to overmix which can affect brownie texture.
- Prepare to Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle chocolate chunks over the top for added texture and chocolatey goodness.
- Bake: Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes. Check by inserting a toothpick or tester into the center; it should come out mostly clean but may have a few moist crumbs for optimal fudginess.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares and serving to enjoy the perfect chewy texture.
Notes
- For extra fudgy brownies, slightly underbake and allow them to cool completely before slicing.
- You can substitute chocolate chunks with chopped nuts or additional chocolate chips for variation.
- Storing brownies in an airtight container at room temperature will keep them fresh for up to 3 days.
- Reheat slices slightly for a warm, melty chocolate experience.
