Ingredients to Make One Bowl Fudgy Brownies

When it comes to baking, the ingredients are key to achieving that perfect texture and flavor. For One Bowl Fudgy Brownies, you’ll find a harmonious blend of ingredients that work together to create a rich, fudgy masterpiece. Here’s what you’ll need:

• ½ cup butter, plus more for pan – This provides the rich foundation for the brownies, ensuring they’re moist and decadent.
• 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped – The heart of the brownies, giving them that deep chocolate flavor we all crave.
• 1 ½ cups sugar – Sweetness is essential, and this amount balances the chocolate perfectly.
• 4 large eggs – These help to bind the ingredients and add richness.
• 1 teaspoon vanilla – A touch of vanilla elevates the flavors and adds warmth.
• ¾ cup flour – Essential for structure, this flour gives the brownies their chewy texture.
• ½ teaspoon salt – A pinch of salt amplifies the sweetness and enhances the overall flavor.

One Bowl Fudgy Brownies Instructions

Let’s get started on making One Bowl Fudgy Brownies. Follow these simple steps, and you’ll have a delicious batch ready to enjoy.

1. Preheat your oven to 350ºF. While the oven warms up, take an 8-inch square baking pan and line it with nonstick foil, leaving a one-inch overhang on two sides. This makes it easy to lift the brownies out later.
2. Next, in a microwave-safe bowl, combine butter and chocolate. Microwave gently, heating in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until everything is melted and smooth. Be patient and avoid overheating; we want a luscious mixture.
3. Once melted, let the mixture cool to room temperature. This is important, as adding eggs to hot chocolate can cause them to cook, which we definitely don’t want!
4. Stir in the sugar into the chocolate mixture until well combined. This step ensures the sugar dissolves and doesn’t create grainy brownies.
5. Now, whisk in the eggs one at a time, blending each one thoroughly before adding the next. This will help create a rich, smooth batter.
6. Add in the vanilla and mix until everything is well incorporated. The aroma of vanilla will start to fill your kitchen!
7. Gently fold in the flour and salt using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix; you want the batter to be just combined for that perfect fudgy texture.
8. Pour the batter into your prepared pan and spread it evenly. It should look glossy and delicious already!
9. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. The brownies should look set and slightly puffed.
10. Once done, remove them from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack. This cooling step is crucial for achieving the right texture.
11. After they’ve cooled, lift the brownies out of the pan using the foil overhang. Cut them into generous two-inch squares. For an extra touch, try dipping the bottoms in granulated sugar for some delightful sweetness.
