How to Make Easy Delicious Chocolate Brownies:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line an 8×8 inch (20×20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl, mix the melted butter and sugar until smooth. You can use a whisk or spoon.
• Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the bowl. Stir well until everything is combined and slightly fluffy.
• Sift in the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Mix gently with a spatula until you get a thick, even batter. Don’t overmix!
• Fold in chocolate chips or nuts if you’re using them, for extra flavor and texture.
• Pour the batter into your prepared pan and spread it out evenly with a spoon or spatula.
• Bake for 20–25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs.
• Let the brownies cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Cut into squares and enjoy warm or store in an airtight container.

Serving and Storage Tips:

• Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of melted chocolate for an extra treat.
• Dust with powdered sugar or cocoa powder before serving for a nice finishing touch.
• Add fresh berries or whipped cream on the side if you want a fancier dessert.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3–4 days.
• For longer storage, keep them in the fridge for up to a week—they’ll stay chewy and rich.
• To freeze, wrap brownies individually in plastic wrap and store in a freezer bag for up to 2 months. Just thaw and enjoy!

Nutrition Info & Healthy Alternatives:

• Each brownie (from a batch of 9) has about 200–250 calories, depending on mix-ins like chocolate chips or nuts.
• It contains sugar, butter, and flour, so it’s rich and satisfying—but best enjoyed in moderation.
• For a healthier version, you can replace half the butter with unsweetened applesauce to reduce fat.
• Use coconut sugar or honey instead of white sugar for a more natural sweetener.
• Try whole wheat flour or almond flour for extra fiber and nutrients.
• To make it dairy-free, use a plant-based butter or coconut oil.
• Want it gluten-free? Just use a 1:1 gluten-free baking flour.
• You can even add grated zucchini or mashed banana to sneak in some healthy moisture!
