You'll never eat box brownies again after you sink your teeth into this chewy homemade brownie recipe that is made with pantry staples and so simple to put together.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x13” glass baking dish and line with parchment paper. Set aside.
In the bowl of a standing mixer, combine eggs and vanilla extract. Using the whisk attachment on the mixer, whisk the egg mixture for 1-2 minutes.
Add the cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder to the mixture and whisk an additional minute.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, melt the butter in the microwave. Once melted, whisk the sugar into the hot butter.
Add the melted butter/sugar mixture to the chocolate mixture and stir until combined.
Add the flour to the batter, mixing just until fully combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips.
Spread the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, until just a few crumbs cling to a toothpick/knife when stuck in the center of the brownies.. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.
Cut into squares to serve.
Notes
Storage: Store leftover brownies for up to 5 days on the countertop in cooler temperatures or in the fridge when stored in an airtight container or covered with aluminum foil. Once they have cooled completely, you can freeze them in single servings or separate the layers with parchment paper in a freezer bag after you seal them in plastic wrap. Freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw in the fridge overnight, then reheat in the microwave for a few seconds.
