This Fudgy Brownie Recipe is an easy recipe that’s done in minutes using just one bowl and simple pantry ingredients. The brownies are the richest and fudgiest brownies you’ll ever try – if you love chocolate these are for you!
One Bowl Brownies
These gooey and fudgy brownies are the recipe of my dreams. I have a lot of brownies recipes, but this one consistently exceeds my expectations. I love to eat them warm and straight from the pan; they are by far some of the best brownies I have ever had.
These homemade brownies are super fudgy which makes them even better – they’re brownie perfection! They have a rich chocolate flavor and gooey center with a crackly top – the perfect recipe. One bite and you’ll be obsessed!
Ingredients Needed
- Eggs: The secret ingredient to making these brownie SO fudgy!
- Cocoa Powder: I used natural cocoa powder. For this recipe, you can use any kind of cocoa powder you have on hand (like dutch process cocoa).
- Oil: I always use vegetable oil. This replaces the butter, so you have no extra melted microwave butter mess. Oil keeps them super moist too.
- Chocolate Chips: Grab your favorite brand and put a ton of them in these brownies. Feel free to use chocolate chunks as well.
Variations
- Brown sugar can be substituted for the granulated sugar.
- Any kind of cocoa powder may be used.
How to make Fudgy Brownies
- Whisk dry ingredients.
- Using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, stir in eggs and then oil until completely moistened.
- Fold in chocolate chips (and nuts, if using).
- Pour brownie batter into a 9×13-inch baking pan. Bake until a toothpick comes out with just a few crumbs.
Expert Tips
- You may think 5 eggs is a lot for a recipe like this, but that is how they become super fudgy brownies – so do not miss out!
- I baked mine on the shorter side because I love my brownies a bit underdone. If you prefer yours completely done or overdone, put them in closer to 26 minutes. Remember to always monitor them throughout baking though, so you can get the best texture that you love.
- Because there is no baking soda in this recipe, you can use whatever cocoa powder you want, so dutch-processed cocoa powder, unsweetened, and special dark are all fine.
- You know brownies are done when a toothpick comes out with a few crumbs, they lose their glossy sheen, and they have a crinkly top.
- Cut brownies with a plastic fork and they won’t stick – they’ll cut easily.
Storage
Store at room temperature for up to 3 days in an airtight container. Freeze them in an airtight container for up to 3 months.

I had to come back and leave a review about these because I was 100% sceptical. No butter? Five eggs!? I will say that I did cut down the oil by about a tablespoon and added a teaspoons of vanilla because I LOVE vanilla, but they turned out perfectly. So fudgy, but has the great flakey top. It’s been about 3 days now since I made them and I can see the oil trying to separate out, but the taste is still fantastic.
Hi. I just tried to make these brownies but when I pulled them out of the oven, there was boiling oil around all 4 edges of the pan and the center of the brownie was had a couple of puddles of oil. I had to use paper towels to soak it up. I quite possibly made a mistake but I wanted to double check to see if anyone else had problems. Is 5 large eggs correct? I’m just not sure what went wrong. Thank you!
How long is the shelf live? And are they freeze able?
So, I have to admit something to you I didn’t actually come straight to your blog when I needed a brownie recipe (although I don’t know why!) Instead I went to google and searched “1 bowl brownie recipe.” And I think you’ll be happy to know that this recipe came up as my second result!! So, know how much I love all of the other recipes I’ve tried of yours I used it- OMG. They are sooo fudgy, yummy, mmmm! I ended up refrigerating them because they were pretty gooey and my goodness- so good. And then if you nuke them for just a few seconds. Heavenly. Thank you for this recipe! My coworkers loved them and I saved a couple for myself!!
This is strange the mix is so wet… Like way tout much oil… I dont know…
