King Arthur Flour Fudge Brownies

Savor the decadent, fudgy goodness of these brownies made with King Arthur flour. They are the ideal way to sate your sweet tooth because they are so chocolaty.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup 2 sticks unsalted butter
• 2 1/4 cups granulated sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 1 1/4 cups cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon espresso powder optional, for enhanced chocolate flavor
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 cups chocolate chips or chunks

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350F 180C

Grease a 9x13-inch 23x33 cm baking pan

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter in short intervals until fully melted

Alternatively, you can melt it on the stovetop

Let it cool slightly

Stir in the granulated sugar until well combined

Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition

In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, salt, baking powder, and espresso powder if using

Add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until smooth

Stir in the vanilla extract and then fold in the all-purpose flour until just combined

Finally, fold in the chocolate chips or chunks

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly

Bake in the preheated oven for 28-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached

Be careful not to overbake; you want the brownies to be fudgy

Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan on a wire rack

Once cooled, cut into squares and enjoy your King Arthur Flour Fudge Brownies
