Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Pan

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

• Lightly grease the baking pan and line it with parchment paper to ensure easy removal of the brownies.

Melt the Butter for the Perfect Texture

• In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and let it cool slightly.

• You can also melt the butter in a saucepan on low heat.

4. Combine the Wet Ingredients

• In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.

• Gradually add the eggs, one at a time, whisking thoroughly after each addition.

• Stir in the vanilla extract for enhanced flavor.

Mix the Dry Ingredients

• In a medium bowl, whisk together the sifted flour, cocoa powder, and salt until well combined.

• Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently with a spatula until just combined to avoid overmixing.

Customize Your Brownies (Optional)

• If desired, fold in chocolate chips, nuts, or other add-ins.

• Be careful not to overmix after adding these extras, as it can affect the texture.

Pour the Batter into the Pan

• Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan.

• Use a spatula to spread it evenly, ensuring the batter reaches all corners.

Bake to Perfection

• Place the pan in the preheated oven.

• Bake for 30–35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter).

• For a cakier texture, extend the baking time by 3–5 minutes.

Cool Completely Before Slicing

• Remove the pan from the oven and place it on a cooling rack.

• Let the brownies rest in the pan for at least 20 minutes before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang.

Slice and Serve

• Transfer the brownies to a cutting board.

• Slice into squares or rectangles using a sharp knife.

• Wipe the knife between cuts for clean edges.
