Ingredients
Scale

- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease an 8×8 square pan or a 9×5 loaf pan, or line with parchment or foil; set aside.
- In a large microwave-safe mixing bowl, melt the butter in the microwave for 1 minute. Stir in the sugar and cocoa powder, whisking until the sugar dissolves.
- Add the eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla, and whisk for at least 1 minute until the mixture is shiny and well combined.
- Stir in flour and salt until fully combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Optionally, fold in your favorite add-ins like nuts or chocolate chips.
- Spread the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the center is slightly set. Avoid over-baking.

Notes
Ensure the butter is completely melted before mixing in other ingredients.
Do not overbake to keep your brownies fudgy and moist.
Customize with your choice of add-ins for added flavor.
