A very quick chocolate fix that is easy to make and completely delicious. A great base recipe you can customise.
Ingredients
Makes: 16 medium brownies
- 125g butter
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 3 eggs (60g)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla essence
- 1 1/2 cup caster sugar
- 3/4 cup plain flour
Directions
Preparation:10min ›
Cook:30min ›
Ready in:40min
- Preheat oven to 160 degrees C and line a medium (22cmx22cm) square baking dish with baking paper.
- Sift the cocoa into a medium bowl. Melt the butter over low heat. When the butter is melted add to the cocoa in a steady stream, stirring with a metal fork as you go. Continue to whisk until smooth.
- Whisk the eggs and vanilla essence together. Add to the cocoa mixture in a steady stream, whisking with the fork as you go, until smooth.
- Stir through the caster sugar until well combined.
- Fold in the flour and stir gently until evenly and just combined.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until firm to touch. Allow the brownies to cool in the tray before cutting and serving. ENJOY!
Substitution
This recipe is also suitable for people who are lactose intolerant - you can use lactose free margarine (such as Nuttelex) instead of the butter. If you like nuts or dried fruit then a handful of walnuts/pecans/almonds/dried apple/sultanas are also delicious stirred through with the flour.

This is the best easy brownies recipe I have come across so far. It's easy and is just delectable. It was a hit with my family and before long, they were all gone. Definitely a keeper. Note: Be sure to properly sift the cocoa powder otherwise the cooked brownies will have lumps of cocoa in them, and so this kinda ruins them. - 21 Dec 2010
Absolutely delicious and a super easy recipe. Great for days when you don't have any actual chocolate for baking with! - 31 Jan 2012
This recipe was so easy and so yummy I reduced the sugar to one cup but other than that I followed the recipe I had a lot of compliments so will definitely be making this again and again My little boy has already requested it for his school fete next week - 17 Sep 2012
