Easy Saucepan Brownies Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 4 oz (114 g) unsweetened chocolate (broken into pieces)
  • 1/2 cup (114 g) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup (40 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • Powdered sugar (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch glass baking dish with parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. Melt Butter and Chocolate:
    • In a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-low heat, add the unsalted butter and unsweetened chocolate pieces. Stir frequently until both are completely melted and smooth.
  3. Incorporate the Sugar:
    • Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the granulated sugar. Keep stirring for about 1 minute until well combined.
  4. Add the Eggs:
    • Add the eggs, one at a time, stirring thoroughly for at least 30 seconds between each addition.
  5. Add Vanilla:
    • Stir in the vanilla extract, mixing for an additional 30 seconds.
  6. Mix in Flour and Salt:
    • Add the flour and salt, stirring gently until just combined and no streaks of white remain.
  7. Bake the Brownies:
    • Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth it out. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool and Serve:
    • Let the brownies cool in the pan for about 20 minutes. Slice into 16 pieces and, if desired, dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Enjoy these quick and easy brownies with a rich, fudgy texture!
