2 Ingredient Brownies

I’ve included some videos I found relevant and helpful. 😍

You can make delicious brownies with just two ingredients! These easy brownies use only chocolate and eggs. The recipe takes just 26 minutes from start to finish, including 25 minutes of baking time. You’ll end up with 9 servings of fudgy, chocolatey goodness.

To make these simple brownies, melt chocolate in the microwave or on the stove. Then mix in beaten eggs to create a smooth batter. Pour it into a lined pan and bake. You can even add chocolate chips for extra richness. Let the brownies cool before cutting and enjoying your quick, tasty treat.

Exact Ingredients List

Here’s what you’ll need to make these simple 2-ingredient brownies:

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

That’s it! Just chocolate and eggs are all you need for the basic recipe.

Want to add some extra chocolatey goodness? You can mix in:

• 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Make sure your eggs are at room temperature before you start. This helps them mix better with the melted chocolate.

For the chocolate, you can use semi-sweet, dark, or milk chocolate chips or chopped chocolate bars. Pick your favorite!

Remember, quality ingredients make a difference. Using good chocolate will give you tastier brownies.

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.

Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl or on the stovetop. Let it cool slightly.

In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until well combined. Gently stir in the melted chocolate until you have a smooth batter.

If you’re using chocolate chips, fold them into the batter now.

Pour the batter into your prepared pan. Spread it evenly with a spatula.

Bake for 25 minutes. The top should look set, but the center might still be a bit jiggly.

Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting. This helps them set properly.

Once cooled, lift the brownies out using the parchment paper. Cut into 9 squares and enjoy!

Possible Substitutes List & Recipe Variations

You can switch up these simple brownies in many ways. Try using different types of chocolate for new flavors. Dark, milk, or white chocolate all work well.

Don’t have chocolate? Use cocoa powder instead. Mix 1/2 cup cocoa powder with 1/3 cup oil to replace the melted chocolate.

For egg-free brownies, use 1/4 cup mashed banana or applesauce per egg. This keeps them moist and adds a hint of flavor.

Want extra texture? Mix in nuts, dried fruit, or more chocolate chips before baking. About 1/2 cup is a good amount to start with.

To make them even fudgier, add a tablespoon of instant coffee powder. This brings out the chocolate flavor even more.

For a minty twist, add 1/4 teaspoon of peppermint extract to the batter. Top with crushed candy canes after baking for a festive touch.

Remember, these brownies are very forgiving. Feel free to play around with flavors and add-ins to make them your own!

Tips, Tricks & Storing

For the best results, use high-quality chocolate. Dark or semi-sweet varieties work well and give your brownies a rich flavor.

Make sure your eggs are at room temperature before mixing. This helps them blend more easily with the melted chocolate.

Don’t overmix the batter. Gently fold the ingredients together until just combined to keep your brownies fudgy.

Let the brownies cool completely before cutting. This makes slicing easier and helps them hold their shape.

To store your brownies, keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, wrap them tightly and freeze for up to 3 months.

Try adding mix-ins like nuts, dried fruit, or extra chocolate chips for variety. Just fold them in gently before baking.

For cleaner cuts, use a plastic knife or wipe your knife clean between slices.
