The Best 15-Minute Brownies
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 9×13'' pan with parchment paper and butter or grease any exposed edges.
2
In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and chocolate chips together in 30-second increments, stirring between rounds, until smooth.
3
Next, whisk in the cocoa powder and oil until you have a smooth, silky mixture.
4
While the mixture is still warm, stir in the sugar until combined. Then, add the eggs and vanilla and whisk until thoroughly combined.
5
Lastly, fold in the flour, salt, and any mix-ins. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan.
6
Bake the brownies for 30-35 minutes, until the top is set and an inserted toothpick has a few moist crumbs.
7
Let the brownies cool completely. Using the edges of the parchment paper, remove the brownies from the pan and cut them into either 16 large or 24 small bars. Dust with powdered sugar, if desired. Enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Bloom Your Cocoa Powder 🍫Whisk cocoa powder with hot melted butter before adding other ingredients to deepen the chocolate flavor and eliminate any raw cocoa taste.
- Don't Overmix the Batter ✨Stop mixing as soon as you see no white flour streaks—overmixing develops gluten and creates cake-like brownies instead of the desired fudgy texture.
- Room Temperature Eggs Emulsify Better 🥚Use eggs at room temperature for 10 minutes before mixing to create a better emulsion with oil, resulting in denser, fudgier brownies.
- Chop Mix-Ins Strategically 🎯Cut larger mix-ins like chocolate chunks smaller than cocoa powder particles so they distribute evenly and don't create dense pockets in the batter.
- Underbake by 1-2 Minutes ⏱️Remove brownies when a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs (not clean) since residual heat continues cooking them as they cool, preventing dry brownies.
