These Simple Fudge Brownies are easy to make, classic, and oh-so-fudgy.

Sean is a plain brownie aficionado; These were made with him in mind. They are definitely best enjoyed with a glass of milk.

This recipe comes from the blog Bunsen Burner Bakery.  Stop over and check out the blog; Julie is a fellow scientist, dog-lover, Penguins fan, and admirer of the Oxford comma.

Total Time
45 mins
 
Course: Dessert
Cuisine: American
Servings: 20 brownies
Ingredients
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tbs vanilla extract
  • 16 tbs unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 1/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups chocolate chips
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with foil. Lightly spray with cooking spray and set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, cocoa powder, salt, baking powder, and vanilla extract.
  3. Add the granulated sugar to the melted butter and stir until combined. Add the butter/sugar to the cocoa/egg mixture and stir until combined.
  4. Add the flour and chocolate chips, stirring until the flour just disappears and everything is smooth.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  6. Bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick, when inserted into the center, comes out with just a few moist crumbs. Allow the brownies to cool for a few minutes in the pan. Using the foil as a sling, lift the brownies out of the pan and onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Looking for more brownies? How about Turtle Brownies or Triple Chocolate Raspberry Brownies? There’s also Guinness Brownies with Caramel Fudge Frosting and (who could forget) Slutty Brownies!

    Yummyyyy! Fudgy brownies are my favorite and really the only brownies I’ll eat. I’m not a fan of cakey brownies. We will definitely have to try these! http://www.ourfoodieappetite.com/traveling-to-dubai-20-things-we-wish-we-knew-part-2/

    This calls for more egg and butter than my usual recipe. I think the result would be improved fudgy-ness, so can’t wait to try it!

      Admittedly, I was a little unsure about all the extra butter and eggs… But extra fudgy-ness ensued!!

    […] Continuing with my theme of late, I had blogged about these Slutty Brownies a while back, but this recipe was in serious need of a face lift.  I used a combination of this recipe for the cookie layer and this one for the brownie layer. […]
