Indulge in the decadence of "My Most Favorite Brownies," a recipe designed to satisfy every chocolate lover's deepest cravings. These ultra-rich, fudgy brownies are made with layers of flavor from melted semi-sweet chocolate, a mix of granulated and brown sugars for a touch of caramelized sweetness, and a velvety batter that’s a dream to work with. The addition of unsweetened cocoa powder enhances the luscious chocolatey depth, while optional mix-ins like chopped walnuts or extra chocolate chips add texture and bursts of flavor. Ready in under an hour, this one-bowl recipe combines ease with gourmet appeal, perfect for parties, potlucks, or a cozy night in. With their crackly top and irresistibly gooey center, these brownies are truly the ultimate sweet treat.
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a 20 cm (8-inch) square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips together. Stir continuously until smooth, then remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Slowly pour the melted chocolate mixture into the sugar mixture, whisking continuously until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
If using any optional mix-ins, fold them into the batter now.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
Remove the pan from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares.
Serve and enjoy your incredibly rich and fudgy brownies!
