Health/Nutritional Benefits

These brownies skip the refined flour and oil, so you’re indulging with pure chocolate and protein-packed eggs. Simple, real ingredients.

Ingredients

This Now, Make It Later!
  • 1½ cups (9 oz) good-quality dark or semi-sweet chocolate
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature

Optional extras: a pinch of salt, a handful of chopped nuts, or a swirl of peanut butter.

Tools Needed

Substitutions & Additions

  • Try milk chocolate for a sweeter version.
  • Add espresso powder to intensify the chocolate flavor.
  • Mix in crushed walnuts or pecans for crunch.

How to Make 2 Ingredient Brownies

Step 1: Melt the Chocolate

In a heatproof bowl, melt your chocolate in the microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring between each until smooth. Let it cool slightly so it doesn’t scramble the eggs.

Step 2: Whisk the Eggs

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs for 2–3 minutes until they’re pale and slightly frothy. This helps create that signature crackly top.

Step 3: Combine

Slowly stream the melted chocolate into the eggs while whisking constantly. The batter will thicken into a glossy, fudgy dream.

Step 4: Bake

Pour into your prepared pan and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20–25 minutes until set on top but still soft in the middle.

Step 5: Cool & Serve

Let the brownies cool for 10 minutes before slicing. (I know it’s hard to wait, but trust me—they’re even fudgier once set!)

What to Serve with 2 Ingredient Brownies

  • A scoop of vanilla bean ice cream
  • A drizzle of salted caramel sauce
  • A mug of strong espresso or red wine

Tips for Making It Perfect

  • Don’t overbake! You want the center gooey, not cakey.
  • Use room-temperature eggs so the batter mixes smoothly.
  • Cool slightly before slicing for cleaner edges.
  • Use quality chocolate—this is the soul of your brownies.

Storage Instructions

Store in an airtight container:

  • Room temp: up to 2 days.
  • Fridge: up to 5 days.
  • Freezer: wrap tightly and freeze for up to 2 months.

To reheat, microwave a brownie square for 10–15 seconds for that fresh-baked warmth.
