These homemade brownies have a perfect crackly top and are moist and fudgy. Super easy to make, no mixers or melting of chocolate is needed. One bowl, ten minutes to whip up the batter and 25 minutes of baking to enjoy these easy homemade brownies.

  When it comes to baking I am always looking for simple recipes which can be made in a jiffy that everyone will rave about. These brownies totally fall in that category- moist and fudgy. It’s a one bowl recipe where the batter comes together in less than ten minutes. These brownies are delicious, easy and highly addictive.

How to make Brownies (with step by step pics)

Step 1 – In large bowl add half cup of butter pieces and melt ( do not boil). You can also melt the butter in a sauce pan. Let the butter cool slightly and then add a cup of sugar. 

Step 2-  Whisk the butter and sugar for thirty seconds. 

Step 3- Add the room temperature eggs and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture. 

Step 4 – Using a whisk mix the eggs and vanilla extract until well blended.

Step 5 – Add the all purpose flour, coco powder, salt and baking powder to the egg mixture. 

Step 6 – Mix all the ingredients until well combined. Add walnuts or any nuts of your choice and fold in the nuts in the batter.  I did not add any nuts.   

Step 7-  Spray a 8 by 8 baking pan with oil. To easily remove the brownies I lined the pan with a parchment paper and sprayed oil and dusted with some coco powder.  Transfer the batter to the pan and bake at 350 F or 175 C for 25 minutes.  

Step 8 – Let the brownies cool completely before cutting into squares. Store in a air tight container at room temperature or in the fridge for long shelf life.

Notes
