Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup Unsalted Butter Provides richness

- 4 large Eggs Provides structure and binding
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Adds aromatic quality
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup Granulated Sugar Provides sweetness and structure

- ¾ cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder Delivers deep chocolate flavor
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour Serves as the base for the batter
- ¼ teaspoon Salt Enhances overall flavor

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a medium saucepan, melt unsalted butter and vegetable oil over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in granulated and brown sugars until smooth.
- Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Include the vanilla extract and combine thoroughly.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Baking
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes. A toothpick inserted should come out with moist crumbs.
- Let the brownies cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Cut into squares and serve warm.
Notes
For extra flavor, try adding nuts or caramel swirls. To enjoy the brownies warm, reheat in the microwave for 10-15 seconds.
