Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for GF version)
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips or chunks (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper. Measure and set out all your ingredients so everything is ready.
  2. Melt the Butter and Mix Sugars: Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler until fluid but not hot. Stir in granulated sugar and brown sugar until fully combined and smooth.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Allow the butter and sugar mixture to cool slightly, then whisk in eggs one at a time. Blend in vanilla extract for aroma and flavor.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl to distribute evenly and prevent lumps.
  5. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix to keep the browkies tender and chewy.
  6. Add Chocolate Chips: Gently stir in chocolate chips or chunks to create gooey chocolate pockets throughout the batter.
  7. Bake and Cool: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 25 minutes until the edges are set but the center remains slightly soft. Let cool completely before slicing to lock in chewiness.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs for smoother batter blending.
  • Don’t overbake; remove when the center is just set to keep fudgy softness.
  • Chill the batter for 30 minutes before baking for thicker browkies.
  • Line your pan with parchment paper for easy removal and clean edges.
  • For a molten lava–style center, try half-baking by reducing bake time slightly.
  • Customize with mix-ins such as nuts, peanut butter swirls, or spices like cinnamon or espresso powder.
