Ingredients
1 cup melted butter
2 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
4 large eggs
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
Chocolate chips for topping or mixing, optional
Directions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9x13-inch baking pan by lining it with aluminum foil and lightly spraying the foil with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Add the eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, whisking vigorously after each addition until fully incorporated. This helps create a rich, dense brownie texture.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, whole wheat flour, and salt. Gently fold this dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix. If desired, fold in chocolate chips at this point.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 26 to 30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs. Do not overbake, as the brownies will set as they cool. Remove from the oven and let cool completely before cutting and serving.
