These Ultimate Fudgy Double Chocolate Brownies combine rich, fudgy texture with deep chocolate flavor using a simple one-bowl method for easy cleanup and delicious results.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (226 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 ½ cups (300 g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (100 g) packed brown sugar
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour (or almond flour for gluten-free)
  • ¾ cup (75 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (170 g) chocolate chunks or chips (semi-sweet and bittersweet mix preferred)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until combined and shiny, about 2 minutes.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, whisking after each addition, then stir in vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a sturdy spoon or spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chunks or chips.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Tap the pan gently to release air bubbles.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, checking at 25 minutes with a toothpick; it should come out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
  9. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack for at least 1 hour (or chill in the fridge for 30 minutes to speed up).
  10. Use the parchment overhang to lift brownies from the pan, slice into 16 squares, and serve.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for better blending. Do not overmix the batter to keep brownies fudgy. Use quality chocolate chunks for melty pockets. Allow brownies to cool completely before slicing to set texture. Check baking time early to avoid overbaking. For gluten-free, substitute almond flour for all-purpose flour. Variations include adding nuts, spices, or peanut butter swirl.
