Hey everybody Sam here from Sugar Spun Run and today I'll be showing you how to make my favorite, easy, homemade brownies.
Today's brownie recipe is super simple to make and this one has already received plenty of five-star reviews over on my blog.
I think you're really going to love this one. So let's go ahead and get started.
The first thing you'll want to do is pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Next you will need 12 tablespoons of unsalted butter.
You're going to want to cut this into about
tablespoon sized pieces and we'll place this in a large microwave safe bowl. Now add 1/2 cup of semi-sweet
chocolate chips in with your butter.
We are going to take those over to the microwave where we will heat it for 30
seconds, and then give everything a really good stir. Then we'll continue to heat this in 15 second increments
until the butter and chocolate are completely melted and your mixture is smooth.
Once our butter and chocolate are melted now, we are going to add 1/2 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder.
I also like to add 1/2 teaspoon of instant coffee at this point, too.
It's not going to make your brownies taste like coffee.
It just really enhances the chocolate flavor that they already have. You can leave this out if you want,
but I like to add it to mine and if you're going to use it, you'll add it at this point.
We'll just whisk our cocoa powder into our melted chocolate until it's completely combined.
Stirring our ingredients really well is critical for this brownie recipe.
I like to use a whisk. It's not required, but it does a really good job of making sure things are really nicely combined.
Right now I'm using it to make sure my cocoa powder is nicely incorporated and my mixture is smooth.
Now we will add our sugar. You're going to need 3/4 cup of granulated sugar, and
another 3/4 cup of tightly packed light brown sugar. I love using brown sugar in this recipe.
It really helps add a little bit of extra flavor to the brownies makes them nice and moist.
I definitely recommend using it and we'll just stir this until it's nicely combined.
Next we'll add our eggs. You'll need 2 large eggs plus 1 large egg yolk for this recipe.
I recommend using room temperature eggs. You don't want to use cold eggs or they'll kind of shock your batter.
It's going to make it harder for things to get evenly incorporated. So I recommend using room-temperature eggs.
I'm going to add these into the batter one at a time whisking well after each addition.
Now we'll add a teaspoon of pure vanilla extract and a half teaspoon of salt.
Will give everything a good stir.
Look how nice and glossy that looks.
Now you'll need just one cup of all-purpose flour, and we'll add this to our batter and whisk it in until our ingredients are nicely
combined, and our batter is smooth and glossy
Finally I like to add 3/4 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips for just an extra punch of chocolate flavor, and I'll just fold these in with a spatula
At this point your brownie batter is done. Now we are going to pour this into a 9 by 9 baking pan.
I like to line mine with parchment paper,
but if you don't have parchment paper, you can lightly grease and flour your pan instead, or you can spray it with baking spray.
I like to use my spatula to spread the batter evenly into the pan.
Now we will bake our brownie batter in our 350 degree Fahrenheit preheated oven for about 30 to 35 minutes.
Keep in mind that if you're using a glass dish instead of a metal one,
it will probably take a bit longer to bake.
Now, what we're looking for is when we insert a toothpick into the center of our brownies,
it should come out with a few moist fudgy crumbs,
not wet batter, and you want to make sure that you're not hitting a chocolate chip or it's going to come out really chocolatey. It
should just be a few most fudgy crumbs. If your toothpick comes out completely clean,
your brownies are definitely done. Take them out of the oven.
You'll want to let these brownies cool for a little bit before digging in, but don't wait too long because they are
absolutely best from served warm.
That is all there is to this easy one bowl homemade brownie recipe.
I hope you guys will give this one a try. It's better than any box mix you're ever gonna buy at the store
I think you're really going to love it. Thank you so much for watching and I'll see you next time.
