  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 16 brownies 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • ½ cup colorful sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prep: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, melt the butter and mix with both sugars until smooth. Whisk in the eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla extract.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together cocoa powder, flour, and salt. Gradually fold this dry mixture into the wet ingredients.
  4. Add Chocolate Chips and Sprinkles: Stir in chocolate chips for gooey richness. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan and top with colorful sprinkles.
  5. Bake and Cool: Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs. Let the brownies cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Pro Tips:

    • Use quality cocoa powder for a richer flavor.
    • Do not overbake; underbaked brownies are fudgier and more indulgent.
    • Lining the pan with parchment paper ensures easy removal and cleaner slices.
    • Make sure to use fresh, vibrant sprinkles for the best visual appeal.

Variations:

    • Holiday Sprinkles: Swap sprinkles based on the season (e.g., red and green for Christmas, pastel for Easter).
    • Nutty Twist: Add chopped nuts like walnuts or almonds for extra crunch.
    • Swirls of Flavor: Try adding a swirl of peanut butter, caramel, or Nutella for a decadent twist.

These values are based on a single serving size, assuming the recipe yields 16 brownies. Adjustments may vary based on ingredient substitutions or serving sizes.
