Indulge in the Easiest Brownies Ever

When it comes to baking, simplicity is key. That’s why these scrumptious brownies are a game-changer – no fancy equipment needed, just a bit of elbow grease to mix everything together. And to make life even sweeter, we’re using chocolate chips instead of chopping chocolate by hand.

Get Ready for a Chocolatey Treat

To start, melt the chocolate and butter together in a saucepan over low heat, stirring frequently until smooth. Alternatively, use the microwave and stir every 30 seconds. Let it cool slightly before moving on to the next step.

Mix It Up

In a large bowl, combine eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt. Stir until just evenly incorporated. Add the chocolate mixture and mix until well combined. Finally, fold in the flour until no white streaks remain.

Bake to Perfection

Pour the batter into a prepared 8-by-8-inch metal baking pan lined with aluminum foil. Push the mixture to the edges and smooth the top. Bake at 350°F for about 25 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out clean. Let the brownies cool for at least 20 minutes before transferring them to a cutting board and cutting into 2-inch squares.

Enjoy Your Delicious Brownies

These treats will last up to 3 days in an airtight container at room temperature. Top with ice cream and caramel sauce for a decadent brownie sundae. With a yield of 16 brownies, you’ll have plenty to share (or not!).
