5 Ingredient Brownies
Fudgy rich chocolate brownies made with just 5 simple ingredients and all in one bowl! This is the easiest brownie recipe that comes together in under 30 minutes, and perfect for when a sudden chocolate craving hits.
Ingredients
- 6 oz 170g bittersweet chocolate (70% cocoa)
- 7 tablespoon 100g salted butter
- 2 large eggs at room temperature
- 1 cup 200g granulated sugar
- ½ cup 71g all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line an 8x8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper leaving a 2-inch overhang along each side.
- Melt chocolate. Combine chocolate and butter in a small saucepan over low heat and stir constantly until completely melted and smooth. If you are worried about burning the chocolate, then place it in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water and stir frequently until melted. You can also melt it in the microwave in short bursts with frequent stirring so it doesn't burn. Do not let the chocolate cool - it should be warm for the next step.
- Beat eggs with sugar. Crack in the eggs into a large bowl, gradually stream in the sugar and whisk for 1-2 minute until pale and thick. It doesn't need to triple in volume so you don't need a mixer, but you just want the sugar to begin dissolve in the eggs. Add the warm melted chocolate mixture and whisk until the batter smooth and glossy. The mixture will tighten up and look very shiny once it is well combined.
- Sprinkle flour over the batter and fold it in until evenly incorporated.
- Spread the batter into your lined baking pan and bake for 20-25 minutes until a skewer inserted into the center comes out with a few moist sticky crumbs attached, but not wet batter. Then, let the brownies cool completely in the pan before slicing.
