Instructions

Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch (23x33 cm) baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

Pro tip: Lining with parchment paper makes it easier to remove the brownies.

Prepare the wet ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until well combined. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Pro tip: Ensure the butter has cooled slightly before adding the eggs to prevent curdling.

Mix dry ingredients

In another bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.

Pro tip: Sifting helps to remove any lumps in the cocoa powder.

Combine wet and dry ingredients

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Pro tip: Overmixing can lead to tough brownies.

Pour and bake

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out with a few moist crumbs.

Pro tip: For fudgier brownies, slightly underbake them.

Cool and serve

Allow the brownies to cool in the pan on a wire rack before cutting them into squares. Serve and enjoy!
