These are the best chocolate brownies you'll ever have! They're moist, gooey, fudgy, and totally out of this world.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup roughly chopped dark chocolate or chocolate chips
  • Sea salt flakes (optional)

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.

  3. 3

    Sift in the cocoa powder, flour, cornstarch, and salt. Mix the ingredients with a rubber spatula until smooth and well combined. Then, fold in the chopped chocolate.

  4. 4

    Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan, and smooth. Bake the brownies for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.

  5. 5

    Allow the brownies to cool for at least 30 minutes before cutting into squares. Sprinkle them with sea salt flakes if using. Serve and enjoy!
