Categories     dessert

Time 1h15m

Yield 16 brownies

Number Of Ingredients 10

Soft butter, for greasing the pan
Flour, for dusting the buttered pan
4 large eggs
1 cup sugar, sifted
1 cup brown sugar, sifted
8 ounces melted butter
1 1/4 cups cocoa, sifted
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup flour, sifted
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Butter and flour an 8-inch square pan.
  • In a mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat the eggs at medium speed until fluffy and light yellow. Add both sugars. Add remaining ingredients, and mix to combine.
  • Pour the batter into a greased and floured 8-inch square pan and bake for 45 minutes. Check for doneness with the tried-and-true toothpick method: a toothpick inserted into the center of the pan should come out clean. When it's done, remove to a rack to cool. Resist the temptation to cut into it until it's mostly cool.

Yield 20 large brownies

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound unsalted butter
1 pound plus 12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
6 ounces unsweetened chocolate
6 extra-large eggs
3 tablespoons instant coffee granules
2 tablespoons pure vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups sugar
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Butter and flour a 12 x 18 x 1-inch baking sheet.
  • Melt together the butter, 1 pound of chocolate chips, and the unsweetened chocolate in a medium bowl over simmering water. Allow to cool slightly. In a large bowl, stir (do not beat) together the eggs, coffee granules, vanilla, and sugar. Stir the warm chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and allow to cool to room temperature.
  • In a medium bowl, sift together 1 cup of flour, the baking powder, and salt. Add to the cooled chocolate mixture. Toss the walnuts and 12 ounces of chocolate chips in a medium bowl with 1/4 cup of flour, then add them to the chocolate batter. Pour into the baking sheet.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, then rap the baking sheet against the oven shelf to force the air to escape from between the pan and the brownie dough. Bake for about 15 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Do not overbake! Allow to cool thoroughly, refrigerate, and cut into 20 large squares.

Easy Chocolate Brownies image

Recipe video above. These are my "go to" brownies, the one I have been making for years that's super easy and outrageously chocolatey. The best fudgey chocolatey brownies made without fuss, in one bowl in 10 minutes. These are not the cakey kind, they're soft fudgey kind. Super rich and moist!

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 10

200g / 14 tbsp unsalted butter ((1 3/4 US sticks))
200 g / 1 1/4 cups dark chocolate chips ((7 oz) (Note 1))
1 cup (175g) brown sugar (, loosely packed )
3 eggs (, lightly beaten)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup (75g) plain flour

Pinch of salt

  • Spray a 20cm/8" square tin with oil and line with baking/parchment paper with overhang (Note 2).
  • Place butter and chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl, microwave in 30 second bursts (takes me 1m 30 sec) until melted. Stir until smooth.
  • Add sugar and vanilla, mix, then add eggs and mix well until smooth and molten.
  • Add flour, cocoa and salt and stir until smooth. Stir in chopped chocolate, pour into pan.
  • Bake 24 minutes for really gooey in the centre, 28 minutes for fudgey but still very moist (my favourie, shown in video & photos), 32 minutes for moist fudge-cake-like. (See in post for toothpick testphotos).

Tips:

- Use melted butter instead of softened butter for a fudgier brownie. - To make sure your brownies bake evenly, use a metal baking pan instead of a glass or ceramic pan. - For a gooey center, underbake the brownies by a few minutes. - To prevent the brownies from sticking to the pan, line the pan with parchment paper before pouring in the batter. - For a crinkly top, beat the eggs and sugar together until thick and pale before adding the melted butter and chocolate. - Add a pinch of salt to the batter to enhance the flavor of the chocolate. - For a richer brownie, use dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet chocolate. - To add a pop of flavor, add chopped nuts, dried fruit, or chocolate chips to the batter.

Conclusion:

These chocolate brownies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a batch of brownies that are sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a sweet and satisfying dessert, give these chocolate brownies a try!
