This one bowl brownie recipe is great if you need a little taste of something chocolatey! It’s also easy to customize with your favorite mix-ins and is prepped with just one bowl to make a small batch.
Preheat the oven to 350℉. Prepare your pan with vegetable pan spray and set aside.
Combine the sliced butter and coarsely chopped chocolate into a large microwave-safe bowl. Slicing your butter and chopping your chocolate will help the two melt quickly and evenly.
Microwave the butter and chocolate at half (50%) power for 60 seconds. Stir and then continue microwaving at 30-second intervals until the mixture is smooth and completely melted.
Once your chocolate is smooth and velvety, add the sugar, eggs and vanilla. Stir until smooth.
Add the flour and salt and stir just until combined.
Now it’s time to add in your mix-ins! This is where you get to make the brownies your own special custom creation. You can use chocolate chips or chunks, chopped nuts, or even some chopped up candy bars. Pecans, walnuts, peanuts, and pistachios are all delicious nut choices!
Fold half of your mix-ins straight into your brownie batter. Spread the batter into the prepared pan. Then sprinkle the remaining half of your mix-ins on top of the batter.
Bake your brownies for about 22 to 25 minutes. If you’re using a 9 in. round, bake for 21 to 24 minutes. If you’re using an 8 in. square, bake for 25 to 28 minutes.
Use toothpick test to determine if brownies are thoroughly baked, in this case the toothpick should NOT be completely clean when removed from the brownies.
Remove from oven and let cool. Then, serve and enjoy!
