Divine One-Pot Brownie is a rich, chocolatey brownie that keeps things wonderfully simple, with the mixture prepared in just one pot. Butter, sugar, cocoa, eggs and flour come together easily, making this a great recipe when you want something sweet without lots of dishes.
The result is a delicious homemade brownie with plenty of chocolate flavour, perfect for sharing or enjoying as an easy baking treat.
Does this brownie need any extras?
Also this brownie is just fine on its own, sure you can add white chocolate or walnuts or your favourite chocolate bar, but it’s perfect as is!
A light dusting of icing sugar and your friends will be impressed.
There are many variations of this online and for this one I amended the Chocolate Brownie I already have slightly and it’s perfect! Of course it is full of sugar and a healthy dose of butter so if you are anti either of those ingredients either amend the recipe or look elsewhere! 🙂
How do you know when the brownie is cooked?
I expected to need to cook this for much longer than I did (after 25 minutes mine was cooked). So, I would suggest you test it at 25 minutes and keep an eye on it at five-minute intervals.
You want the inside to be moist but the mixture to not stick a skewer inserted in the middle.
The top will be cooked and it will feel firm at your touch, but the inside retains an almost undercooked look – but it is the perfect outcome!

How to make this one-pot brownie
Divine One-Pot Brownie recipe
Divine One-Pot Brownie
Divine One-Pot Brownie is an easy, rich chocolate brownie made simply in one pot, with a straightforward method and delicious results every time.
Ingredients
- 170 g Butter
- 1¾ Cups White Sugar, 385 g
- 1½ teaspoons Vanilla Essence
- ¼ teaspoon Fine Salt
- 3 Eggs
- 1 Cup Cocoa Powder, 100 g
- ⅓ Cup Plain White Flour, 50 g
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 175°C. Grease and line a 23 cm square tin with baking paper
- Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Remove from heat and whisk in the sugar, vanilla, and salt until creamy, at least 2 minutes
- Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition until fully combined, thick and glossy
- Sift over this the cocoa powder and flour and stir until only just combined through; avoid overmixing.
- Pour the batter into the prepared tin and spread to make it even. Bake for 25 to 35 minutes (baking time depends on depth). Test with a skewer or knife in the centre at 25 minutes - moist crumbs on a damp skewer indicate it’s ready, if any wet batter then cook a few minutes longer and check again, careful not to overcook.
- Cool completely in the tin, remove onto a wire rack and place in an airtight container or wrap well. It is always best to slice and serve brownies the next day once cold, making it more dense and rich.
- Dust with icing sugar to serve.
- This recipe freezes beautifully, once it has cooled, wrap well in wrap and place in foil or an airtight container for up to 3 months.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- This can be made in the stand mixer with the same steps
- We often make this recipe with 180 g of our favourite white chocolate, diced into chunks and gently folded into the batter after the flour and cocoa. It may take up to ten minutes longer to cook with this addition, we highly recommend it!

Thank you Anna!
Judy says
I have never made a brownie before. Made this last night for my granddaughter’s 20th birthday. A real hit. I was lazy though and used my Kenwood with a whisk beater.
Too easy. Thank you so much. I want to try the lemon and coconut one next
justamumnz says
Brilliant! Yes we use our mixer too, and then still only slowly fold through cocoa and flour still or it isn’t as fudgy.
Amanda says
I half my mixture when putting in container and add choc drops or buttons in the middle Massive hit having that gooey choc in the middle always get requests to make
It like that with a “surprise in the middle”
Sarah David says
This was great, thanks! So quick and easy and the brownies were yummy and chewy. I hv tried a lot of brownie recipes and this one is my new favorite!
Ann says
Can you simply sub gluten free flour in this recipe?
justamumnz says
I have not tried but others tell me it does work. Use the GF flour you would normally use with success in your baking.
Eleanor says
It works very well my mums gluten free and we always do this and it makes it so fudgy
Caro says
I made this with GF flour and subtituted coconut oil for butter. Delicious
Anna From Just A Mum says
That sounds like a great idea!! Anna
Darlene Andrews says

Abigail says
Wanted to find a quick and easy brownie recipe to make some special brownies and this is fab!
Cooled in the fridge and then sprinkled with a healthy dose of icing sugar these were divine, and only 25mins (mine was perfect at 23mins). I did also reduce the sugar by 60g and they were just as good!
Tami says
What Cocoa powder do you use? I’ve been using the countdown home brand but if there’s a better tasting one I’d love to know ❤️
justamumnz says
I usually use that one too or Sun Valley is the other one I like.
Joanne says
Tried this today and it was a big hit to my chocolate loving husband and toddler! My first brownie and it already impressed them! Thank you.
Virginia says
Beautiful thank-you so much ??????
Gill says
Is 350g sugar and 43g flour correct?? This is what Google translated the cup measurements as…I ended with a bubbling brown mass which ended a bit like chocolate toffee. There wasn’t any way it was going to become cake-like. ? Wondering what went so disastrously wrong for me.
(Tried your 4 ingredient fruit cake the other day. Fabulous and yummy)
Joan McCormick says
Hi Anna
I made your Divine Chocolate Brownies today, they were amazing. I am so happy that I found your website. This is the first time I have been able to bake for five years! Having CRPS causes havoc but today I parked up my walker and pulled out a high stool and hey presto these amazing Brownies appeared. Thank you, it was really worth having to take to bed after spending time whisking and watching magic appear in the oven ??Thank you!!!
justamumnz says
I’m so pleased to hear that Joan! What a wonderful first recipe to choose and definitely worth the effort, I wonder what recipe you’ll try next ☺️

Lynne Ewison says
Yes, it did work in the end. Very nice !
justamumnz says
Great! Yes it’s a lovely recipe ☺️
Lynne Ewison says
I am trying this at the moment. The butter and sugar are not creaming together. What’s wrong??
justamumnz says
It comes together as best it can for melted butter and sugar. Mix it for about 3-4 minutes then add the eggs one at a time, it will become paler with each egg addition.
Lynne Ewison says
Trying this at the moment… the butter and sugar are not going creamy! What’s going wrong??
