I bake a batch of homemade brownies at least once every month. I bake them for bake sales at our church, for my grand daughter’s Girl Scout meetings, for hubby to take into work and I’ll bake them when we want something to munch on. Baking a batch of brownies from scratch is really easy and making them is a lot less time-consuming then whipping up a batch of cookies or making a fancy cake.
While we do enjoy blonde brownies from time-to-time…chocolate brownies are hands-down our favorite ones to make! If you plan on making them for a bake sale, I like packaging them in those smaller snack-size zipper close baggies.
Easy-to-Make Chocolate Brownies Recipe
4 squares unsweetened chocolate
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter
2 cups granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Spray your 8 x 8″ baking pan with nonstick vegetable spray.
In a microwave safe bowl, combine the unsweetened chocolate squares with your 3/4 cup of butter. Heat on high for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes in your microwave until the chocolate and butter are melted. Stir in the granulated sugar, large eggs and vanilla extract until all ingredients are combined. Stir in the all-purpose flour and mix well.
Spread the brownie batter into your prepared baking pan. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 25 to 35 minutes or until done. Be care to not over bake! Once they’re done baking, remove the pan from the oven and let them cool to room temperature. Once cool, slice brownies into squares and store them in an airtight container.

My family loves brownies and I am always looking at new recipes. It makes the home smell so good. I love to serve them at informal dinner parties.
Brownies are one of my favorite desserts ever! Of course, you can’t have fresh baked brownies without a dollop of ice cream!
I saw these brownies on your Facebook page yesterday and I’ve been thinking about them ever since. And now that I’ve read through your recipe, I’m convinced! One bowl and no mixer? Yes and yes. Thanks!
These sound amazing and so easy to make. I haven’t had brownies in so many years and I have never had ones like this right out of the oven. When it cools down a little I really want to make these.
This looks like a quick & easy recipe, which is good! I love baking but seem to have trouble with brownies for some reason. They always get too hard around the edges. Lately, we’ve been cooking them in muffin tins & cupcake holders to prevent that, lol.
This is an easy recipe and perfect when you need something lip smackin’ good to bring with you to a get together or to a neighbor, or just for a fast dessert!
That’s an easy and yummy recipe. I don’t bake much, but even I could make these.
Great recipe and brownies….yum! I like the use of easy ingredients that you often have on hand. Not a lot of work involved, but they look really good. Thanks.
Thank you for sharing your yummy sounding Brownie Recipe! It will be much nicer to make homemade brownies for a Family function then the box ones I usually make! I will make these for our annual 4th of July Family and friend get together..
