This brownie recipe delivers a perfect balance of fudgy center and slightly crisp edges, enhanced by baking in a glass pan for even heat distribution and a glossy crust. Easy to make with simple pantry ingredients, it’s ideal for gatherings and satisfying any chocolate craving.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks, 227 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups (400 g) granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup (75 g) unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
  • 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (6 oz, 170 g) semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon espresso powder (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place your glass baking pan in the oven while it’s heating for about 5 minutes to warm evenly.
  2. Carefully remove the hot glass pan using oven mitts and lightly grease it with butter or non-stick spray. Dust with a little flour and tap out the excess.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until combined and glossy, about 1-2 minutes.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and shiny.
  5. In a separate bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and espresso powder.
  6. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Fold in chocolate chips if using.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared glass pan and spread evenly. Tap the pan gently on the counter to release air bubbles.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes. Check at 25 minutes by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
  10. Cool completely on a wire rack before cutting to prevent mushiness.
  11. Cut into squares using a sharp knife wiped clean between cuts and serve.

Notes

Preheat the glass pan in the oven before adding batter to ensure even baking and prevent sticking. Grease and flour the pan well. Avoid overmixing the batter to keep brownies fudgy. Cool brownies completely in the pan before cutting to avoid mess. If edges bake faster than the center, loosely cover with foil halfway through baking.
