Easiest fudge brownies
Ingredients
- 1 package (4oz) unsweetened chocolate
- 2 cups sugar
- 3 medium size eggs
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup butter
- 1 cup flour
- 1 cup dark chocolate baking chips (optional)
- 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- COOKING HACK: for easier removal of the brownies from the pan, add in a sheet of tinfoil lengthwise with enough of the edges rolled as handles , spray lightly with cooking spray, that way you can easily lift the brownies out of the pan for easier cutting.
- In a large microwave safe bowl break up the chocolate (it melts easier in smaller chunks) add the 3/4 cup butter and microwave on high for 2 minutes. Using a whisk, stir until the chocolate and butter mixture is smooth.
- Add in the 2 cups sugar and continue stirring, about a minute. Add in the 1 tsp vanilla extract.
- TIP: use the cap of the vanilla extract to measure with if you don’t have anything else handy.
- Add in the 3 medium size eggs one at a time, stirring well after each addition.
- TIP: make sure the mixture is cool enough that you’re not cooking the eggs before you can even get things stirred and into the oven to cook.
- TIP: I like to crack the eggs into a separate bowl first, then add them to the mixture. that way, you don’t have to be digging for eggshell pieces in the batter if the cracking doesn’t go as planned!
- Add in 1 cup flour and stir until well mixed ( switch to a big spoon at this stage for easier stirring as the batter will be to thick for the whisk)
- At this stage, you can add the chocolate chips and/or nuts if you so choose.
- Pour mixture into prepared pan. Be sure to use a rubber spatula to scrape out all of that yummy goodness!!
- Bake in oven at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
- Brownies should be moist in the center. Don’t overbake! No one wants to eat concrete brownies!
- This is the hardest part. You need to let them cool for at least 10 or 15 minutes, before cutting. Sorry, guys. After that, lift out by the foil handles, and cut into the desired sized squares.
- Enjoy!
