This is my favorite brownie recipe! Chewy, fudgy, oh-so-chocolatey brownies made from scratch – with zero hassle or fuss. This outrageously amazing recipe only requires one-bowl, 5-ingredients, and 30 minutes in the oven. Cue the happy dance!
One-Bowl Brownies
Happy Wednesday, friends! How’s your week going so far? I know I always say this, but I cannot BELIEVE we’re already in the first week of August. Bonkers!!! Do you feel like time is flying by, too? I’m thinking it’s a Summer thing!
To get this day off to a great start, I’m sharing the easiest, tastiest, 5-ingredient brownies ever! I actually made these on a whim last weekend, and they were so good I knew I had to make them again to share with you! They’re perfect for those days you’re short on supplies but still want to make a super decadent dessert!
How to make Brownies
If you’re crazy about brownies, there are a few things you should know before getting your one-bowl-brownie dance on:
- These brownies are insanely easy to make, but they must cool completely before being cut. This means just a wee bit of patience is required in the final stage. About 2 hours if you want really neat squares. That being said, you can totally pop them in the freezer (like I do) if you want to speed this stage up. Cheating? Maybe. But hey – sometimes you just need your brownie!
- You can use dark or semi-sweet chocolate for these brownies, but I would highly suggest staying away from the milk variety. It’s way too sweet and won’t give the brownies the same dark, rich, fudgy punch. And trust me, that’s a punch you want 😉
- What goes best with hot (or cold) chocolate brownies? Ice cream, of course! My favorite way to eat these gorgeous, crackly chocolate treats is with a giant scoop of vanilla on top. Ya know, just in case you were wondering… 🙂
Are you ready to DIG IN yet?!
Chocolate brownies are my love language and I would do almost anything for them, but the fact that this recipe only dirties ONE bowl and calls for 5 ingredients sure is sweet! The other great thing is that the said ingredients couldn’t be more basic. In fact, I bet you have most of them, if not all of them, in your pantry right now! All you need is flour, sugar, butter, eggs, and chocolate!  Do you have all of them? I bet you totally do. That’s exciting!!!
