Homemade Fudge Brownies
Introduction
Nothing beats the comfort of homemade fudge brownies—rich, dense, and packed with deep chocolate flavor.
These brownies strike the perfect balance between chewy edges and a soft, fudgy center.
Made with simple pantry ingredients, they’re perfect for everyday baking or special occasions.
Ingredients
- ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ cup chocolate chips or chunks (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line an 8×8-inch baking pan.
- In a bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until smooth.
- Add eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until glossy and well combined.
- Sift in cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Gently fold until just combined.
- Stir in chocolate chips if using.
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow brownies to cool completely before slicing.
Description
These fudge brownies are intensely chocolatey with a moist, melt-in-your-mouth texture.
They are rich without being overly sweet and deliver a deep cocoa flavor in every bite.
Perfectly fudgy, never cakey.
Tips
- For extra fudgy brownies, slightly underbake them.
- Use high-quality cocoa powder for the best flavor.
- Add nuts, peanut butter swirls, or caramel for variation.
- Chill before cutting for cleaner slices.
Correction
- If brownies are dry, they were overbaked—reduce baking time next time.
- If too soft or gooey, allow more cooling time.
- Avoid overmeasuring flour to keep brownies fudgy.
Enjoy
Enjoy these homemade fudge brownies on their own or topped with ice cream or powdered sugar.
