- 1/4 tsp salt, leave out if using salted butter

- In a large microwave-safe mixing bowl, melt the butter in the microwave for about 1 minute. Add the sugar and cocoa powder, whisking vigorously for at least a minute until the sugar dissolves.
- Add the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla. Whisk for at least a minute until well mixed and the batter becomes shiny.
- Stir in the flour and salt, mixing until fully combined. Avoid overmixing the batter.
- (Optional) Fold in your choice of add-ins such as nuts, chocolate chips, or raisins.
- Spread the batter in the prepared pan and bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until the center is slightly set. Take care not to over-bake!
- Allow to cool completely, then cut into squares, either large or small.
Notes
For added flavor, consider using dark chocolate chips or nuts as add-ins.
Make sure not to over-bake the brownies to retain their fudgy texture.
