Print Recipe

A quick and easy one-bowl brownie recipe delivering rich, fudgy texture with a crisp top and a subtle hint of flaky sea salt for perfect indulgence.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup (95g) all-purpose flour, sifted (can substitute almond flour for gluten-free)
  • 1/2 cup (50g) unsweetened cocoa powder, preferably Dutch-processed
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon flaky sea salt, for sprinkling on top
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy lifting.
  2. Melt the butter and let it cool slightly (2-3 minutes) so it is warm but not hot.
  3. In a mixing bowl, stir together the sugar and melted butter until combined and glossy, about 30 seconds.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, beating each thoroughly before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet batter using a gentle folding motion. Stop when no streaks remain but the batter is still thick and fudgy.
  6. If using, fold in the chopped walnuts or chocolate chips.
  7. Pour the batter into the lined pan and smooth the top evenly. Sprinkle flaky sea salt generously over the surface.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Start checking at 20 minutes by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter. The edges should look set and slightly cracked.
  9. Cool completely on a wire rack before lifting out using the parchment overhang.
  10. Cut into squares with a sharp knife, wiping the knife between slices for cleaner cuts.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep brownies fudgy rather than cakey. Use room temperature eggs for better texture. Flaky sea salt is essential for flavor contrast. Rotate pan halfway through baking if your oven runs hot. Let brownies cool completely before cutting for best texture. Optional add-ins like nuts or chocolate chips add texture and flavor.
