Super Easy Homemade Brownies

These super easy to make Homemade Brownies are gonna have your back when you want amazing ultra-chocolate brownies made from scratch that are gooey, fudgy and irresistible chewy. Perfect for potlucks, celebrations and hoarding!  

They are that good, you might definitely become a brownie hoarder!   How would you like that title? I’ve been called worse, so I’m perfectly fine to take it on that title over others. ha!  

No need for chocolate chips, because these brownies are rich and perfect enough not to include them.  Happily, they are not over the top sugary either!  They are pretty much the perfect brownies!  

I’m a huge brownie fan, so it would make complete sense over the years, that I have sampled a ton of brownies. 

Brownies are my all-time favorite desserts, and these babies are way up there on the radar scale with some of my favorites, like these Peanut Butter Stuffed Brownies (Easy & Epic!), these Rich Fudgy Flourless Brownies {GF}, and these OMG! Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosted Brownies to name a few. 

For more brownies, go here.  There are 45 kinds and I’m always adding, so check back often. 

Homemade brownies are so totally worth the making from scratch with very easy steps and only 8 ingredients.  Pssst….that box really isn’t saving you much time in the end and you probably have everything on the ingredient list as you read through this post! 🙂

Ok, just don’t go over-baking these brownies (like I always preach), to get the perfect texture.  Enjoy!!
