2 Ingredient Brownies

Get ready for the most mind-blowing brownie recipe you’ve ever tried! These incredibly fudgy, rich brownies are made with just two simple ingredients, but they taste like they came from a gourmet bakery. The secret? Pure chocolate magic and a special technique that creates the perfect texture.

What makes these brownies truly special is their impossibly silky-smooth texture and intense chocolate flavor. With no flour or added sugar, the pure chocolate taste shines through in every decadent bite. They’re so rich and satisfying that you’ll never believe they’re this simple to make.

Ingredients

For the brownies:

• 1 1/4 cups + 2 tablespoons (11 ounces) high-quality dark chocolate, chopped
• 6 large eggs, room temperature

Optional mix-ins:

• 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal. The parchment prevents sticking and makes cleanup a breeze.
2. Place chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until completely melted and smooth (2-3 minutes total). Alternatively, use a double boiler method. Let cool for 5 minutes – if too hot, it can cook the eggs.
3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk eggs until fully combined and slightly frothy (1-2 minutes). The eggs should be pale yellow and completely uniform.
4. Slowly stream the melted chocolate into the eggs while whisking constantly. This prevents scrambling and ensures a smooth batter. Mix until glossy and completely incorporated.
5. If using chocolate chips, fold them in now. The batter should be thick but pourable.
6. Pour into prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 25 minutes exactly – the center should be set but still slightly jiggly. A toothpick will come out with a few moist crumbs.
7. Cool completely in the pan for at least 2 hours. The texture continues developing as they cool.

Smart Swaps

• Use 70% dark chocolate for less sugar content
• Try sugar-free chocolate (maintain same weight measurement)
• Add 1/4 cup espresso powder for mocha flavor

Make It Diabetes-Friendly

• Use sugar-free dark chocolate (reduces carbs by 15g per serving)
• Cut into 16 smaller squares instead of 9 (reduces portion size)
• Serve with 2 tablespoons unsweetened whipped cream
• Best eaten with protein to slow sugar absorption

Pro Tips

• Room temperature eggs are crucial – cold eggs will seize the chocolate
• Don’t overbake – slightly underbaked is better than overdone
• Refrigerate for 4 hours for extra fudgy texture
• Use a hot knife for clean slices
