Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add-ins
  • 1 cup chocolate chips Can substitute with chopped dark or white chocolate.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a baking pan.
  2. In a bowl, mix flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
  5. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
Baking
  1. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  2. Let cool before serving.

Notes

For a fudgier texture, swap half of the all-purpose flour for almond flour or reduce baking time by 3-5 minutes. Store cooled bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze slices individually wrapped for up to 2 months.
