delicious brownie recipe:

Ingredients:

Optional add-ins:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan, or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the sugar until well combined. Let the mixture cool slightly.
Add the eggs, one at a time, to the butter and sugar mixture, stirring well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
If using, fold in the chocolate chips or chunks and chopped nuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs clinging to it.
Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares and serving.
These brownies are rich, fudgy, and utterly irresistible. Enjoy them on their own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat!

1. Can I use a different type of flour for this recipe?

Yes, you can substitute all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour or almond flour. However, the texture may slightly differ. For gluten-free brownies, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend.

2. How can I make my brownies fudgier?

For fudgier brownies, reduce the baking time slightly and add an extra egg yolk to the batter. You can also increase the amount of butter and sugar slightly.

3. Can I add other mix-ins to this brownie recipe?

Absolutely! Feel free to add in other mix-ins like white chocolate chips, caramel bits, dried fruit, or a swirl of peanut butter or Nutella.

4. How should I store these brownies?

Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can refrigerate them for up to a week or freeze them for up to 3 months.

5. How do I know when the brownies are done baking?

Brownies are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs but not raw batter. Be careful not to overbake, as this can result in dry brownies.
