After years of making brownies from a box mix, I found this recipe and never looked back. So good and really don’t take much longer to make than the boxes.
1 cup salted butter (plus more for greasing)
4 oz unsweetened bakers chocolate (broken up)
2 cups sugar
4 eggs beaten
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup-1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease a 9×13 pan with butter. Grease a sheet of parchment paper and line pan with it.
Melt the butter and chocolate together in a 2 qt saucepan over low heat. stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. Remove the pan from heat and stir in the sugar. Add the eggs and vanilla and stir to make a smooth batter. Add the flour, mix well, then add chocolate chips. Pour the batter into the baking pan and spread evenly. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 40-45 minutes. Let cool (at least 30 minutes), cut and serve.
This is adapted from a recipe I found on tastyeatsathome.com which is no longer active. The original does include walnuts but I never liked nuts in my brownies and my son is allergic to most tree nuts so I leave them out
