Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 4 units large eggs
• 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 cup optional mix-ins (e.g., chocolate chips, walnuts)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in the granulated sugar and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 3

Allow the butter mixture to cool slightly, then add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

If using optional mix-ins like chocolate chips or walnuts, gently fold them into the batter.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter).

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares.

Step 10

Serve and enjoy your Easy Breezy Brownies!
