Classic Chocolate Brownies from Scratch Recipe

You can't go wrong with a plate of classic chocolate brownies made from scratch! These are pure chocolate goodness!

I love that you can add in toppings if you want or just stick to the classic chocolate taste.

Do you like a centerpiece or the crusty edge piece when it comes to brownies? I am all in for the crusty chewy edge piece whenever I can get it.

My husband bought me a Brownie Pan a few years ago that turns the entire pan into edge pieces and I might have swooned.

Ingredients

  • Butter
  • Unsweetened Cocoa
  • Vegetables Oil
  • Sugar
  • Eggs
  • Vanilla Extract
  • All-Purpose Flour
  • Baking Powder
  • Salt

Optional topping for brownies includes powdered sugar, chocolate chips, powdered sugar + milk glaze, chocolate syrup, caramel, and butterscotch chips.

    I can't wait to try this! Believe it or not, I've only ever made brownies out of a box.

    Mom used to make them from scratch, but sadly my best have come from a box. Have to give homemade another try.

    These look delicious. I usually use a boxed mix for brownies, but I should try to make them from scratch.
