- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions

- Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Mix everything together until well combined.
- Bake: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan. Spread it evenly and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool & Serve: Allow the brownies to cool for a few minutes before cutting into squares. Serve warm with a scoop of ice cream or enjoy as is!
Notes
- For extra fudgy brownies, slightly underbake them so they remain moist inside.
- You can substitute the butter with coconut oil for a dairy-free option.
- Using parchment paper helps to easily lift out the brownies and prevents sticking.
- Feel free to add nuts or chocolate chips for additional texture and flavor.
- Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
