Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips (optional)
- 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2: Combine Wet Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 3: Combine Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
Step 4: Fold in Extras
If using, fold in the chocolate chips and chopped nuts for extra texture and flavor.
Step 5: Bake the Brownies
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs (not completely clean for fudgy brownies).
Step 6: Cool and Serve
Let the brownies cool in the pan for about 15-20 minutes before cutting them into squares. Serve and enjoy!
Cooking Notes
- Texture: If you prefer cakier brownies, increase the baking time by 2-3 minutes. For fudgier brownies, check them at the 25-minute mark to avoid overbaking.
- Extras: The chocolate chips and nuts are optional but add great flavor and texture. You can also top the brownies with a dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of melted chocolate for extra decadence.
Variations
1. Peanut Butter Swirl Brownies
Drop spoonfuls of peanut butter over the brownie batter before baking. Swirl it in with a knife for a delicious peanut butter-chocolate combo.
2. Caramel Brownies
Add a layer of caramel between two layers of brownie batter, or drizzle caramel sauce over the top for an extra indulgent treat.
3. Espresso Brownies
Add 1 tablespoon of instant espresso powder to the dry ingredients for a rich mocha flavor that enhances the chocolate.
4. Mint Chocolate Brownies
Mix in ½ teaspoon of peppermint extract and top the brownies with crushed peppermint candies for a refreshing minty twist.
Keto Version and Low-Carb Adjustments
For a keto-friendly version of Snoop’s Bow Wow Brownies:
- Replace the flour with almond flour or coconut flour.
- Use a sugar-free sweetener like erythritol or monk fruit.
- Substitute sugar-free chocolate chips for regular ones.
This will keep the brownies low-carb while retaining their fudgy, chocolatey goodness.
