- Butter– I used melted butter instead of softened butter.
- Eggs- 4 eggs might sound like a lot, but it’s the perfect amount. Don’t forget to whip those eggs, just the right amount.
- Sugar- I like to use raw sugar because of its texture.
- Vanilla Extract- Nothing compares to real vanilla extract. Grab some real vanilla extract for this recipe.
- Cocoa Powder- a brownie recipe with cocoa powder is obvious because you need cocoa powder to make the perfect homemade brownie recipe.
- Baking Powder + Salt- These will be our leavening agents
- Flour- I use unbleached flour to bake with.
- Oil– Although I used melted butter, I decided to add a little oil at the end.
