5 Ingredient Brownies Recipe
These 5 ingredient brownies make a decadent, rich chocolate dessert that comes together quickly and bakes to perfection.
As you’ll see, you really only need the 5 basic ingredients to be able to whip up a batch of brownies that will satisfy your chocolate cravings and wow a crowd.
How To Make The Easy Homemade Brownies
Start by gathering the five simple ingredients for the easy recipe:
- 150g/5.3oz Unsalted Butter
- 150g/5.3oz Chocolate
- 2 Eggs
- 1/2 Cup Sugar
- 1 Cup Plain Flour
Get the oven preheating to 180C/350F and line a square baking tin with well greased baking paper, so that it’s ready to go when you’re ready to fill your tin with brownie batter.
Melt the butter and chocolate together in a small saucepan on the stove top or in the microwave in 30 second bursts, stirring regularly until both are melted.
You can use any chocolate you’d like, I’ve gone for 70% dark chocolate because we prefer decadent dark chocolate treats, but you could swap for milk chocolate instead.
Once melted, whisk in the eggs and sugar until fully incorporated then add in the flour and stir through until just combined.
With brownies you want to mix until everything is just combined together, and not over mix, so that you get to enjoy an end result of super moist and fudgy brownies.
Move the brownie batter to the prepared baking tin then pop in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until done to your liking, with the less cooking time resulting in softer, fudgier brownies and a longer baking time resulting in a more cake like texture.
Once the brownies have baked, remove them from the oven, allow them to cool to room temperature in the baking tin, then remove and cut into bite sized brownies.
Store any leftover brownies in an airtight container to enjoy within a couple of days – if they last that long.
