Preparing Classic Fudge Brownies
Making these classic fudge brownies is straightforward and rewarding. You’ll start by melting butter, then mixing in sugar and eggs, creating a luscious base.

Gather These Items
To make these decadent fudge brownies, you’ll need:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
- 2 ¼ cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional for extra fudginess)
If you’re looking to switch things up, coconut oil can be used instead of butter for a dairy-free version, and you can substitute the granulated sugar with coconut sugar for a healthier twist.
