Have a sweet tooth and are in need of a quick dessert? My Brownies with Chocolate Chips recipe is rich, chocolatey, and absolutely delicious. This homemade brownie recipe is easy-to-make, has a rich fudgy middle, and made completely from scratch in less then 45 minutes time.
Preheat the oven to 350F. Lightly grease a 9″ x 13″ pan.
In a saucepan set over low heat, melt the butter, then add the sugar and stir to combine. Return the mixture to the heat briefly, just until it’s hot (about 110 Fahrenheit to 120 degrees Fahrenheit) but not bubbling.
Place the eggs in the stand mixing bowl, and beat using a flat paddle attachment with the cocoa powder, salt, baking powder, espresso powder and vanilla extract until smooth about 30-45 seconds.
Pour the batter into the lightly greased 9″ x 13″ pan. Then top with the remaining 1 cup of chocolate chips.
2 cups Chocolate Chips
Bake the brownies for 30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out almost clean-- with just a few moist crumbs clinging to it. The brownies should feel set on the edges, and the center should look very moist, but not uncooked. Remove them from the oven and cool on a rack for at least 30 minutes before cutting and serving.
Notes
Shiny Top Crust of Brownies - Heating this butter / sugar mixture dissolves more of the sugar, which will yield a shiny crust on top of the brownies.
Brownie Sundae - Brownies are a perfect dessert to have with ice cream or whipped cream, and even drizzle caramel for extra flavor.
Storing Leftovers - Always store brownies at room temperature in a well sealed container for up to 5 days.
Removing the Entire Pan of Brownies at Once - If you plan to remove the whole pan of brownies out of the pan at once. Grease the pan first, then line it with parchment paper, and add additional non-stick cooking spray to the the parchment paper.
