A few months ago, I was on the phone with my daughter at college and she wanted to whip up some chocolate brownies but she doesn’t have a mixer. The lightbulb went on and I created this one bowl brownie recipe.  I am going to share the tips and tricks for making homemade brownies in less than 5 minutes!

You ended up with the richest, the most decadent, the fudgiest homemade brownies on the planet…with minimal effort. 

There’s no creaming the butter and sugars. The fudgy brownies are as simple as melting the butter in the microwave and stirring in the sugars. All you need is a bowl, a spoon, a baking pan, and the ingredients!

How to make the Best One-Bowl Brownies:

  1. Melt the butter in a microwave. Add the brown sugar and sugar and stir until dissolved. This is best done while the butter is hot so the sugars dissolve and lose their grainy texture.
  2. Stir in eggs and vanilla and stir well. Fold in the rest of the ingredients. The unsweetened cocoa powder can make a difference in the richness of these brownies. I usually buy my cocoa powder in bulk at Winco because they usually carry Callebaut at a reasonable price.
  3. Fold in 1 cup of the chocolate chunks. You can use chocolate chips or a chopped up chocolate bar. Chocolate chips hold their shape while chocolate bars will usually melt and add to the decadence of these brownies. I prefer to chop up a large dark chocolate bar from Trader Joe’s (the Pound Plus Bars from Belgium).
  4. Pour into pan and sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup of chocolate. To make cutting the brownies easier, I line the baking pan with a parchment paper sheet.

The Best One Bowl Fudgy Brownies

By: Modern Honey - www.modernhoney.com
One Bowl Fudgy Chocolate Brownies How to make the easiest and quickest rich, decadent, fudgy, homemade chocolate brownies. These homemade brownies will knock your socks off!
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Servings: 24

Ingredients  

  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter (melted)
  • 1 1/2 cups Sugar * (1 3/4 cup for sweeter brownies)
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar
  • 4 large Eggs
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • 1 1/4 cups Flour
  • 1 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 1/2 cups Chocolate Chunks* (divided)

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large, microwave-safe bowl, melt butter. Remove from the microwave and stir in sugar and brown sugar until dissolved. Make sure to take time to stir well to remove all graininess from the sugars. Stir in eggs and vanilla.
  • Fold in flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Fold in 1 cup of chocolate chunks, reserving 1/2 cup to sprinkle on the top.
  • Pour into a lightly sprayed 9 x 13 baking pan. I prefer to line the baking pan with parchment paper for easier cutting. Spread batter evenly in the pan. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup of chocolate chunks.
  • Bake for 23-30 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool for at least 10-15 minutes before cutting into pieces. If you prefer, sprinkle with Maldon sea salt flakes.

Notes

  • If you want the chocolate chunks to melt, I suggest using a chocolate bar and cutting it up. Chocolate chips hold their shape. Either works though!
  • For sweeter brownies, use 1 3/4 cups of sugar.

    First I want to start by saying these were SO delicious! However, I originally chose this recipe because it said prep time 5 minutes and cook time 20 minutes. With having to dissolve the sugars prep time was almost double and the cook time as stated in the instructions is 23-30 minutes. My fault for not reading the directions fully first, but maybe itโ€™s worth an update ๐Ÿ™‚

    Just made these for the 3rd time! I used special dark cocoa powder, dark chocolate chips and kept the sugar on the low end. SOOOO GOOD! Thank you!
