How to Make 1 Bowl Fudgy Brownies

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. Coarsely chop 12 ounces (340g) of semi-sweet chocolate and place it in a large, microwave-safe bowl along with 1 cup (2 sticks/226g) of unsalted butter.
  3. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 2 minutes. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
  4. Allow the chocolate mixture to cool to room temperature. This is crucial for preventing the eggs from cooking.
  5. Stir in 1 ¾ cups (350g) of granulated sugar, then add 4 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  6. Gradually add 1 cup (120g) of all-purpose flour, mixing until just combined. Fold in ½ cup (60g) chopped walnuts or pecans (optional) and ½ cup (60g) of chocolate chips (optional).
  7. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan.
  8. Bake in the center of the oven for 30-32 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs (it shouldn't be completely clean).
  9. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. Enjoy!
