Print Recipe

A quick and easy one-bowl brownie recipe with a fudgy texture and a delightful flaky sea salt topping, perfect for stress baking and minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (113 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100 g) brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup (75 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3/4 cup (95 g) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • About 1 teaspoon flaky sea salt for sprinkling on top

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy brownie removal.
  2. Melt the butter gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, being careful not to brown it. Pour melted butter into a large mixing bowl.
  3. Add granulated sugar and brown sugar to the melted butter. Stir until combined and smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
  4. Whisk in eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. The batter will look glossy and rich.
  5. Mix in vanilla extract.
  6. Sift together cocoa powder, flour, and salt either in a separate bowl or directly over the wet ingredients.
  7. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients gently but thoroughly using a spatula or wooden spoon. Avoid overmixing to keep the fudgy texture.
  8. Pour batter into the prepared pan and smooth the surface with a spatula. Sprinkle flaky sea salt evenly over the top.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Check at 20 minutes by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs but not wet batter.
  10. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing. For cleaner cuts, refrigerate for 15 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for smooth batter. Avoid overmixing to maintain fudgy texture. Watch oven carefully to avoid overbaking. Refrigerate cooled brownies for 15 minutes before slicing for cleaner cuts. For gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free blend. For dairy-free, replace butter with melted coconut oil. Adding nuts or chocolate chunks is a great variation.
