Fudgy Gooey Delicious Brownies – Preppy Kitchen
Main Ingredients
Step-by-Step Instructions
Follow each step to make the recipe successfully.
Preheat Oven and Melt Butter
Preheat your oven to 350°F (approximately 175°C) (175°C (approximately 345°F)). In a large bowl, melt 1 cup (226 grams) of unsalted butter in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted.
Add Cocoa Powder and Sugar
Add 3/4 cup (75 grams) of unsweetened cocoa powder to the melted butter. Then, add 2 cups (400 grams) of granulated sugar to the bowl.
Whisk Until Sugar Dissolves
the mixture vigorously until the sugar is completely dissolved. This step is crucial for achieving a beautiful, shiny, and crackly top on your brownies. You can use a hand or an electric mixer for this process.
Incorporate Eggs, Vanilla, and Salt
Add 3 large, room temperature eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract and 1 teaspoon of salt. Continue mixing until the batter is smooth.
Fold in Flour and Chocolate Chips
Add 1 cup (120 grams) of all-purpose flour and 1 & 1/2 cups (270 grams) of semisweet chocolate chips to the batter. Gently fold the ingredients together with a spatula until the flour just disappears and the chocolate chips are evenly distributed. Avoid overmixing.
Prepare Baking Pan
Take an 8x8 inch baking tin. Fold a piece of parchment paper to fit the bottom and sides of the pan, cutting the corners to allow it to sit flat. Lightly spray the inside of the pan with cooking spray to help the parchment paper adhere, then place the parchment paper inside.
Pour Batter and Bake
Transfer all the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan. Use an offset spatula to spread the batter into a nice, even layer. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for for a fudgy, gooey brownie.
Cool and Cut Brownies
Once baked, remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper. Cut the cooled brownies into your desired size pieces; the video shows cutting them into 9 squares.
Enjoy Your Brownies
Serve and enjoy your delicious, fudgy brownies! They are perfectly sweet and decadent.
