Key Ingredients
- 🍪 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 🍫 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 🥛 1 cup milk
- 🧈 ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 🍯 ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 🥚 2 large eggs
- 🍬 ½ teaspoon salt
- 🍫 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1️⃣ In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This is easiest with an electric mixer, but you can do it by hand – it just takes a little more elbow grease!
2️⃣ Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
3️⃣ In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
4️⃣ Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Don’t overmix! A few lumps are okay – that’s part of the charm of brownie batter.
5️⃣ Stir in the milk until the batter is smooth and creamy.
6️⃣ Taste test! (Okay, maybe a spoonful or two…) Add a pinch more sugar or a splash more milk to adjust the sweetness or consistency to your liking.
7️⃣ Serve immediately, or chill for a later, even more delightful treat!
Handy Tips
- Use good quality cocoa powder for the richest chocolate flavor.
- If your butter isn’t quite soft enough, microwave it for short bursts (5-10 seconds at a time) until it’s easily spreadable.
- Don’t overmix the batter! Overmixing can make it tough.
Heat Control
This recipe doesn’t involve heat, making it perfect for even the youngest cooks (with adult supervision, of course!). No oven or stovetop needed!
Crunch Factor
There’s not a “crunch” to this recipe, but the texture is wonderfully soft, moist, and slightly chewy – just like perfect brownie batter should be!
Pro Kitchen Tricks
- For an extra chocolate kick, add ½ cup of chocolate chips to the batter.
- A tablespoon of instant espresso powder adds depth and intensity to the chocolate flavor.
- For a richer flavor, use dark brown sugar instead of granulated sugar.
