Easy basic chocolate brownie recipe, a recipe for simple chocolate brownies using basic ingredients already in your pantry. I love using chocolate bars while baking and definitely feel like the taste and texture is significantly better when I do. The only thing that I don’t look forward to is the melting of the chocolate, especially if it involves a double-boiler set up.{Check out more brownie recipes here like the eggless biscuit brownies, whole wheat brownies, and twix brownies}

That’s why these brownies are so ideal when you want a fuss-free, easy and yummy snack. The ingredients are most probably lurking in your pantry already and you need less than 20 mins to whip them up before sticking it into the oven.

There are a dozen different ways you can customize this basic chocolate brownie recipe, that’s why this is the basic brownie recipe. Add orange zest, white chocolate chips, chopped walnuts, let your imagination go wild! I have baked these with some a topping of chocolate ganache and it’s really out of this world.
