Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Light brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 0.75 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Baking powder

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly with butter.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat, stirring occasionally. Once melted, remove from heat and let it cool for 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Whisk granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and vanilla extract into the melted butter until smooth and combined.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time, whisking vigorously after each addition until the mixture is glossy and thick.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.

Step 6

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula. Stir gently until no streaks of flour remain and the batter is smooth.

Step 7

Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (avoid overbaking for a fudgy texture).

Step 9

Remove the pan from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.

Step 10

Once cooled, slice into 9 square pieces and serve. Enjoy your Plain Jane’s Brownies!
