Equipment

Ingredients

1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg room temperature
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°. Line a 9x5 loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving some paper hanging over the edges to easily pull brownies from the pan once cooled.
In a large mixing bowl, combine melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla. Beat in eggs.
In a separate bowl, sift together dry ingredients - flour, cocoa, and salt. Slowly stir dry ingredients into egg mixture until combined.
Stir in chocolate chips (or other mix-ins of your choosing).
Pour into loaf pan and use a spatula to spread evenly to the edges. Batter will be thick.
Bake for 20-24 minutes, then test with a toothpick for doneness. Insert toothpick into the center of the pan. If toothpick comes out with wet batter, the brownies are not done. Continue checking every 2 minutes. If toothpick comes out with a few crumbs, then the brownies are done.
Place brownies onto a wire rack and allow to cool before cutting and enjoying.
