• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until smooth.

4. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
   Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.
5. Remove from the oven and allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan.
