🍫 Gooey Buttery Fudgy Chocolate Brownies 🍫
Easy • Rich • Crowd-Pleasing • Addictive
There’s just something magical about a pan of freshly baked brownies. The crackly top, the ultra-gooey center, the buttery richness, and that deep chocolate flavor that melts in your mouth with every bite. These brownies are the kind you make “just to try” and then suddenly half the pan is gone before they’ve even cooled.
This recipe is super easy, made with simple pantry ingredients, and comes together in one bowl — no mixer required. Whether you’re baking for family, friends, or just yourself (no judgment), these brownies are guaranteed to earn a permanent spot in your dessert rotation.
🧈 A Little History of Brownies
Brownies have been a beloved American dessert since the late 1800s. Legend says they were created when a baker forgot to add baking powder to a chocolate cake — and honestly, we’re forever grateful for that mistake. Over time, brownies evolved into many styles: cakey, chewy, and fudgy.
This recipe leans heavily into the fudgy, gooey side — the kind true chocolate lovers crave.
🛒 Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup (75g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1¼ cups (250g) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (100g) brown sugar (for extra moisture)
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 egg yolk (this is key for gooey texture!)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Chocolate Goodness
- 1½ cups (260g) chocolate chips or chunks
(semi-sweet or dark work best)
🧁 Method & Instructions
Step 1: Prep
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C)
- Line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper (leave overhang for easy lifting)
Step 2: Mix the Base
- In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar
- Whisk until glossy and smooth (this helps create that crackly top)
Step 3: Add Eggs & Vanilla
- Whisk in eggs and egg yolk, one at a time
- Add vanilla extract and mix until fully combined
Step 4: Add Dry Ingredients
- Sift in flour, cocoa powder, and salt
- Gently fold until just combined — do not overmix
Step 5: Chocolate Time
- Fold in chocolate chips/chunks
- Save a handful to sprinkle on top if you like extra melty pockets
Step 6: Bake
- Pour batter into prepared pan
- Bake for 22–28 minutes
- Center should look slightly underbaked
- A toothpick should come out with moist crumbs, not dry
Step 7: Cool (The Hardest Part)
- Let brownies cool in pan for at least 30 minutes
- This helps them set while staying gooey inside
🍽️ Formation & Texture
These brownies form:
- Crackly, shiny tops
- Ultra-fudgy centers

They slice clean once cooled, but still stay soft and rich for days.
