One Bowl Brownies

Best one bowl brownie recipe! These easy brownies are made entirely in one bowl and have a beautiful shiny crust, fantastic fudgy middles, and perfect chewy edges!

This is a great basic brownie recipe! Basic doesn’t mean boring though.

These one-bowl brownies are rich and chocolaty. They have fudgy middles and chewy edges.

The brownies are also easy to make, and you can make the brownies entirely in the saucepan. So they’re super easy and super tasty!

How to make one-bowl brownies

Step 1: Preheat oven to 325F. Parchment-line a 13×9-inch metal pan. Set aside.

Step 2: In a large saucepan, combine butter, sugars, and water. Bring to a boil, stirring regularly.

Step 3: Remove pan from heat.

Step 4: Whisk in 1 cup chocolate chips until melted and well-combined.

Step 5: Add eggs and vanilla. Whisk until well-combined.

Step 6: Add flour, salt, and baking soda. Whisk in just until combined. Don’t overmix.

Step 7: Stir in the remaining 1/3 cup chocolate chips.

Step 8: Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing as needed.

Step 9: Bake for about 25-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few fudgy crumbs.

Step 10: Let the brownies cool to room temperature.

Tips

• Butter: I use salted butter in this recipe. If using unsalted butter, increase the salt to 3/4 teaspoon.
• Brown sugar: I use light brown sugar in this recipe.
• Chocolate chips: Bittersweet chocolate chips are 60% cacao. A good substitute would be dark chocolate chips. If you prefer, you can use semisweet chocolate chips. However, the brownies will be sweeter.
  • If you like more chocolate chips in your brownies, feel free to increase the stirred in chocolate chips to 1 cup.
  • If you omit the stirred in portion of the chocolate chips, the brownies won’t have as much of a shiny exterior.
• All-purpose flour: It’s important to use a light hand when measuring flour for brownies. To get the proper amount of flour, weigh the flour or sift or stir the flour. Lightly spoon into the measuring cup and level.
• I recommend whisking the brownies together by hand. This helps to avoid overmixing brownies.
• The brownies are good at room temperature but are even better after chilling in the fridge overnight.

Storage

The brownies can be stored, covered, at room temperature for up to 4 days. However, I recommend storing the brownies, covered, in the fridge for a fudgier texture.
