Equipment

  • Medium saucepan
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Spatula
  • 9x13 inch baking pan

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 cups packed dark brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup butterscotch chips optional
  • 1 cup shredded coconut optional
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans optional
  • 1 cup chocolate chips optional

Instructions

  • Melt the butter and brown sugar over medium heat in a medium saucepan, stirring constantly until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool for about 10 minutes.
  • Blend in the eggs and vanilla extract into the cooled mixture, whisking until smooth and slightly thickened.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold this into the wet mixture until just combined.
  • Fold in any extras like butterscotch chips, coconut, or nuts of your choice.
  • Pour the batter into a greased 9x13 inch pan and spread evenly. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes, checking for a soft center with a toothpick test before removing.

Notes

Measure flour accurately by spooning it into the cup for best results and to avoid dense, dry brownies.
Allow the melted butter and sugar mixture to cool enough to avoid scrambling the eggs.
Check the brownies a few minutes early; underbaking for that gooey texture is preferable to overbaking.
For variations, consider adding chocolate chips for a flavor upgrade or shredded coconut for chewy texture.
Store completed brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days or freeze for longer storage.
