This Better Than Box Mix Brownie Recipe offers fudgy, rich brownies with a deep chocolate flavor, made from scratch with simple pantry ingredients. Perfectly moist and loaded with melty mini chocolate chips, these brownies are a homemade treat that outshines any store-bought mix.

Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup melted butter
  • 1 ½ cups packed brown sugar
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 4 large eggs

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Add-ins

  • 1 cup semisweet mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the brownies.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
  3. Add Eggs: Incorporate the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to fully blend and create a consistently smooth batter.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt. This step ensures the dry ingredients are evenly mixed before combining with the wet ingredients.
  5. Fold Dry into Wet: Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Mix gently until just combined to avoid overworking the batter, which keeps the brownies fudgy.
  6. Add Chocolate Chips: Stir in the semisweet mini chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter to add melty chocolate pockets in every bite.
  7. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 35 minutes. Test doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out with fudgy crumbs but not wet batter.
  8. Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares for clean edges and perfect portions.

Notes

  • For gooier brownies, bake closer to 20-25 minutes; for more cake-like texture, bake closer to 30-35 minutes.
  • Ensure the butter is not too hot when mixing with sugar to prevent cooking the eggs.
  • Use high-quality cocoa powder for the best chocolate flavor.
  • Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
