Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Ultimate Chocolate Brownies.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
While it warms up, grab an 8x8 or 9x9-inch baking pan and give it a light greasing, followed by a dusting of flour to ensure your brownies come out easily.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, mix together the sugar and melted butter until they’re perfectly blended, creating a sweet base for your treats.
Step 4
Next, crack in the eggs and beat the mixture until it’s smooth and creamy, inviting all those delicious flavors to come together.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, whisk together the self-rising flour, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt.
Step 6
Gradually add this dry mix to your wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined—be careful not to overmix, as we want those brownies to be fudgy! Now, stir in a splash of vanilla extract for that warm, inviting aroma, and if you’re feeling adventurous, fold in some chopped walnuts for a delightful crunch.
Step 7
Pour the luscious brownie batter into your prepared pan, spreading it out evenly to ensure every bite is just as delicious as the last.
Step 8
Pop the pan into your preheated oven and let it bake for about 25 to 30 minutes.
Step 9
You’ll know they’re ready when the edges are firm and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs clinging to it—just the way we like them! Once baked, let the brownies cool in the pan for a bit before cutting them into squares.
Step 10
Serve them up and enjoy the rich, chocolatey goodness that’s sure to bring smiles all around!.
