Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Sugars
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
Dry Ingredients
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free baking blend for GF option)
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Add-ins
- 1 cup honey roasted cornflakes (plus extra for topping)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Oven and Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal and cleanup.
- Melt Butter and Mix Sugars: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter. Stir in granulated sugar and brown sugar until fully combined and slightly glossy.
- Incorporate Eggs and Vanilla: Add eggs to the butter-sugar mixture one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract to blend the flavors evenly.
- Sift Dry Ingredients: Sift together cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. This ensures even distribution and a smooth batter.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually fold the sifted dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be thick and fudgy.
- Add Honey Roasted Cornflakes: Gently fold in the honey roasted cornflakes, saving a handful to sprinkle on top for extra crunch after baking.
- Bake to Perfection: Pour the batter into your prepared pan, smooth the surface, and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and Slice: Allow brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. This helps them set and makes slicing neater.
Notes
- Use room temperature eggs for a smoother batter texture.
- Don’t overmix the batter to keep brownies tender and fudgy.
- Fold in honey roasted cornflakes last to maintain their crunch.
- Check oven temperature with a thermometer to avoid under- or over-baking.
- Allow brownies to cool fully before slicing for cleaner cuts.
