Recipe

Brownies are a classic dessert loved for their rich, fudgy texture and deep chocolate flavor. This simple recipe is perfect for both beginners and experienced bakers, delivering delicious results every time.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter
• 2 cups (400g) granulated sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup (75g) unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup (90g) chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
2. Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat or in the microwave.
3. In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter and sugar until combined.
4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Sift the flour, cocoa powder, and salt into the bowl, then fold gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
6. Fold in the chocolate chips if using.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.
8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
9. Let the brownies cool in the pan before cutting into squares.

Notes:

• For fudgier brownies, reduce the baking time slightly. For cake-like brownies, bake a few minutes longer.
• Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Nutrition

Brownies are a delicious treat, but it’s important to be mindful of their nutritional content. Below is the nutritional breakdown per serving.

What To Serve With It

I love pairing warm brownies with a scoop of vanilla ice cream—it’s a classic combo that never disappoints. For drinks, I’ll often go for a cold glass of milk or a cup of coffee to balance the sweetness. These simple additions can turn a great brownie into an unforgettable treat.

Ice Cream Pairings

When you’ve got a warm, fudgy brownie in front of you, there’s nothing like a scoop of ice cream to take it to the next level. Pair classic chocolate brownie flavors with vanilla bean or mint chip for a timeless combo. For richer dessert combinations, try salted caramel ice cream with walnut brownies or raspberry swirl with dark chocolate. The contrast is heavenly—trust me, I’ve tested them all!

Beverage Matches

While ice cream makes brownies even more indulgent, the right drink can turn them into a full dessert experience. I love pairing rich, fudgy brownies with bold coffee pairings, like espresso or a creamy latte—it’s a match made in heaven. For something lighter, tea selections such as chai or mint work beautifully. A cold glass of milk? Classic, comforting, and always a winner. Cheers to dessert perfection!
