Chocolate Brownie Recipe

Chocolate brownies are one of the most loved desserts in the world. With their deep chocolate flavor, soft center, and slightly crisp top, brownies are pure comfort food. Whether served warm with ice cream or enjoyed on their own, a homemade chocolate brownie always feels special. This recipe shows you how to make perfect eggless chocolate brownies at home using simple ingredients.

🧾 Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

All-purpose flour (maida) – ¾ cup
Cocoa powder – ¼ cup (unsweetened)
Baking powder – ½ teaspoon
Salt – a pinch

Wet Ingredients

Dark chocolate – 150 g (chopped)
Butter – ½ cup (unsalted)
Sugar – ¾ cup (powdered or fine)
Milk – ½ cup
Vanilla essence – 1 teaspoon

Optional Add-ins

Chopped walnuts or almonds – ¼ cup
Chocolate chips – 2 tablespoons

👩‍🍳 Preparation Method

Step 1: Prepare the baking tray

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) for 10 minutes. Line a square baking tray with butter paper or grease it well with butter and dust with flour. This step prevents sticking and helps remove the brownies easily after baking.

Step 2: Melt chocolate and butter

Take chopped dark chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl. Melt them using a double boiler method or microwave in short intervals, stirring in between. Mix until smooth and glossy. Let the mixture cool slightly.

Step 3: Add sugar and flavor

Once the chocolate mixture is warm (not hot), add powdered sugar and mix well until fully combined. Add milk and vanilla essence. Stir until the batter looks smooth and shiny.

Step 4: Mix dry ingredients

In a separate bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Sifting removes lumps and helps create a smooth brownie texture.

Step 5: Combine wet and dry ingredients

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Fold gently using a spatula. Do not overmix—just combine until no dry flour is visible. Overmixing can make brownies hard.

Step 6: Add extras

If using nuts or chocolate chips, fold them into the batter. These add crunch and extra richness to the brownies.

🔥 Baking the Brownies

Pour the brownie batter into the prepared tray. Spread evenly using a spatula. Tap the tray gently to remove air bubbles.

Bake in the preheated oven at 180°C for 25–30 minutes.
Check by inserting a toothpick in the center—it should come out with moist crumbs, not liquid batter. This ensures fudgy brownies.

Remove from oven and allow the brownies to cool completely in the tray. Cooling is important for clean cuts.
