Brownie recipes are a dime-a-dozen, but today, I’d like to share one that’s so easy to bake that even someone with very little baking experience can make perfect homemade brownies, perfect as an easy dessert when served with ice cream.
You know, those that not only taste good but are an eating experience, thanks to their crackly tops, melt-in-your-mouth chewiness, and the right amount of sweetness and chocolate flavor.
It’s the best brownie recipe for kids too, and it’s the perfect way to get them baking in the kitchen! Better still, you can easily store these brownies in plastic wrap in your fridge or, better still in an airtight container. You could even store the brownie mix in your freezer for a later date!
Before we start, here are a few dessert recipes for you to try after the easy brownie recipe. One of my favorites is these corn chip and peanut butter no bake cookies. They are delicious! What about marbled sugar cookies? They almost look too good to eat. In our house, these mini apple and mini strawberry cheesecakes are a hit as well. You have to try them.

Now add the three large eggs and mix through again until you have a consistent batter. You can add the eggs whole, no need to split the egg yolks from the white.
Step 3: Sift in the all-purpose flower, as well as the unsweetened cocoa powder, and fold through the batter, making sure the flour and cocoa powder are incorporated properly. Now fold in a few more chocolate chips.
Step 4: Line a baking tray or square cake tin with parchment paper, and spray with non-stick cooking spray. Add the cakey brownie mixture and spread evenly.
Step 5: Preheat your oven to medium heat and bake the brownies. You want the top of the brownies to be dry. Let them cool to room temperature and cut them into squares.
