These brownies are fudgy, take just minutes to mix up, only need one bowl, and they are easily customizable with any of your favorite mix-ins! I love having this recipe on hand for any time I need to make a last-minute dessert. They're just the best!

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 9×13'' pan with parchment paper and butter or grease any exposed edges.

In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and chocolate chips together in 30-second increments, stirring between rounds, until smooth.

Next, whisk in the cocoa powder and oil until you have a smooth, silky mixture.

While the mixture is still warm, stir in the sugar until combined. Then, add the eggs and vanilla and whisk until thoroughly combined.*

Lastly, fold in the flour, salt, and any mix-ins. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan.

Bake the brownies for 30-35 minutes, until the top is set and an inserted toothpick has a few moist crumbs.

Let the brownies cool completely. Using the edges of the parchment paper, remove the brownies from the pan and cut them into either 16 large or 24 small bars. Dust with powdered sugar, if desired. Enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Ingredient Sanity Check 🚨
This recipe's ingredient list seems incredibly random and unrelated to brownies - you'll want to use standard brownie ingredients like chocolate, flour, eggs, sugar, and butter.
One-Bowl Magic 🥣
For quick brownies, use a single large mixing bowl and minimize dirty dishes by melting butter/chocolate directly in the bowl using low microwave heat.
Mix-In Perfection 🍫
Fold any mix-ins like chocolate chips or nuts gently into the batter just before pouring to prevent them from sinking to the bottom during baking.
Fudgy Texture Secret 🧈
For ultra-fudgy brownies, slightly underbake by removing from the oven when a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs, not completely clean.
Cool Cutting Technique 🔪
Let brownies cool completely in the pan, then use a plastic knife to cut clean, smooth edges without sticking.
