Description
A simple, 5-ingredient dessert that delivers fudgy texture and rainbow color in under 30 minutes. Perfect for busy weeknights and parties.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (80g) rainbow sprinkles (jimmies)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (85g) semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides.
- Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Add sugar and eggs to the melted butter. Whisk vigorously for about 2 minutes until the mixture is glossy and slightly thickened.
- Stir in the flour and salt until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the rainbow sprinkles and chocolate chips (if using) using a spatula.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes. The edges should be set, but the center should still look slightly underbaked.
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before lifting them out and cutting into squares.
Notes
For extra fudginess, add an extra egg yolk. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes before baking for a denser crumb. Ensure you use jimmies rather than sugar pearls to prevent bleeding. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
