Better-Than-Boxed Fudgy Brownies

Thick, chewy, fudgy brownies made in ONE bowl, no mixer required! Just as easy as boxed mix, but better!

Servings

Calories 303kcal

1 ¼ cups granulated sugar
½ cup powdered sugar
¾ cups all-purpose flour
¾ cups unsweetened cocoa powder I've tested these with Hershey's & Target's Good & Gather brand
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon baking powder (not baking soda!)
1 tablespoon cornstarch
¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks
1 teaspoon espresso powder (totally optional!)

Whisk together dry ingredients in large bowl. Add wet ingredients and mix with the whisk until just incorporated; batter will be thick.
Spread in a greased pan and sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup of chocolate chips on top. Bake at 325℉ based on the pan size below.
I recommend using a light-colored aluminum metal pan for these; glass pans will require more baking time and will result in a fluffier brownie.
9x9”: Bake for 32-36 minutes
9x13”: Bake for 20-24 minutes
Let the brownies cool completely for clean cuts. If you are making these a day ahead, I suggest waiting until the next day to cut, as they firm up beautifully and will cut much easier!
Store for 3-4 days covered with plastic wrap or inside an airtight container, or freeze for 1-2 months.
