These ultimate fudgy brownies feature a perfect balance of dense, chewy texture with gooey chocolate chunks, making them an irresistible treat for any chocolate lover.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks, 227g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 1/2 cups (300g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100g) packed brown sugar
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup (75g) unsweetened cocoa powder (preferably Dutch-processed)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups (about 250g) chocolate chunks (mix of semisweet and bittersweet)
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides.
  2. Melt the butter gently in a microwave or on the stovetop until just melted, not browned. Pour into a large mixing bowl.
  3. Whisk in granulated sugar and brown sugar until smooth and combined.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, whisking after each addition until the batter looks glossy.
  5. Mix in vanilla extract and stir to combine.
  6. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
  7. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture with a spatula, being careful not to overmix.
  8. Fold in the chocolate chunks evenly.
  9. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  10. Bake for 25-30 minutes, checking at 25 minutes. The edges should be set and the center slightly jiggly with moist crumbs on a toothpick.
  11. Cool completely on a wire rack before cutting.

Notes

For extra melty chocolate pockets, sprinkle half the chocolate chunks on top before baking. Avoid overmixing the batter to keep brownies fudgy, not cakey. Use room temperature eggs for better texture. Cool brownies completely before cutting or chill for 20-30 minutes for cleaner slices. Optional nut additions or gluten-free flour substitutions can be made.
