Chewy M&M Brownies
These M&M Brownies are rich, chewy, and fudgy, filled with colorful M&Ms and a deep chocolate flavor. They are perfect for gatherings, parties, or a fun baking session at home.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 ½ cups (300g) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (110g) light brown sugar, packed
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
- ½ cup (50g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional for extra fudginess)
- 1 ½ cups M&Ms, divided (use more for decoration if desired)
Instructions
- Prepare the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x9 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy brownie removal. Lightly grease the paper with cooking spray.
- Mix the wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Combine the dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Make the batter: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined (do not overmix to keep the brownies fudgy). Stir in the chocolate chips and 1 cup of M&Ms.
- Assemble and bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle the remaining M&Ms on top for decoration. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
- Cool: Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper. Slice into squares and enjoy!
