Quick and easy chewy chocolate brownies recipe

Chewy Chocolate Brownies

When it comes to brownies, we all have our preferences—thick and fudgy, cake-like or somewhere in between. These chewy chocolate brownies beg to be savored no matter what your personal taste.

It takes only 15 minutes to whip this batter together. If the flavor of semisweet chocolate and cocoa called for in the recipe isn’t enough for you, stir extra chips into the batter just before baking to experience a chocolate overload.

Helpful hint: To ensure these dense treats don’t stick to the pan, line it with parchment paper. They’ll be easy to remove and make cleanup a snap!

what you'll need
  

  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 cup pecans or walnuts, chopped, optional
  • powdered sugar for dusting

let's do it
 

  • Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees. Spray a 9" x 13" cake pan with cooking spray or line with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Melt butter in a medium-sized saucepan over medium-low heat then add chocolate chips, stirring constantly until melted. Remove from heat then set aside to cool slightly.
  • Whisk together eggs, sugar, vanilla and salt in a large mixing bowl until completely combined. Sift flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt over the top of the egg mixture then stir to combine.
  • Add the chocolate mixture to the egg mixture then stir until completely incorporated. Fold in nuts if desired.
  • Transfer the batter into the prepared pan and bake 20–22 minutes until firm in the center. Cool on a wire rack, dust with powdered sugar, slice and serve. Enjoy!

One Last Thing

Allow the chocolate mixture to cool slightly before you add it to the rest of your ingredients. Otherwise it will cook the eggs in the batter.
