The Best Homemade Brownies Recipe
This best homemade brownie recipe is so fast to put together. You'll have a moist chocolatey batch of brownies hot from the oven in less than 30 minutes with no need for a box mix.
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup flour
- 2/3 cup cocoa powder
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease an 8x8" baking dish with butter or cooking spray. Alternatively, line the pan with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine the eggs, oil, water, vanilla, and sugar. Beat them together with a whisk or hand blender.
- Add the flour, cocoa powder, and salt and stir together until everything is fully incorporated. Now is when you should add any chocolate chips or walnuts, if desired.
- Pour mixture into the baking dish and spread it out with a spatula. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool completely before slicing.
Notes
- The batter will be thick, that's normal. Just spread it out evenly.
- Keep a good watch on the brownies toward the end of baking time. It's best to take them out on a little early than a little late. Don't let the edges get dried out.
- You can use sugar substitute in place of the regular sugar to cut calories and carbs.
