Rich, fudgy, double chocolate brownies make this recipe Best Ever Brownies, quite possibly the only brownie recipe you’ll ever need!
Oh how I love brownies, they are definitely my favorite baked chocolate dessert! With that said the last time I tried to make brownies from scratch was probably 6 or more years ago, after much searching and deliberation I opted to give this recipe a try. I found this recipe on Tastespotting, it is the “King Arthur Flour Fudge Brownie” recipe. Well after I read the description it sounded too good not to try, and since my mom requested brownies for her Mother’s Day dessert. I thought what better time than now to try my hand at made from scratch brownies, let me just say this recipe changed my mind about buying brownie mix. My mom described them as the “best ever” brownies so from now on these will be my go-to!
My family absolutely loved them, well everyone but my brother, they are very rich. To quote my nephew, “they are chocolatey-delicious.” Ok so now that I have talked them up, you might want to try them for yourself, go on, give them a try, enjoy and happy baking!
Best Ever Brownies
Prep
Cook
Total
Yield 12 -16 brownies
Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
- 2 1/4 cups sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 1/4 cups cocoa
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 2 cups chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9" x 13" pan
- In a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, or in a saucepan set over low heat, melt the butter, then add the sugar and stir to combine.
- Return the mixture to the heat (or microwave) briefly, just until it's hot (about 110°F to 120°F), but not bubbling; it'll become shiny looking as you stir it.
- Heating this mixture a second time will dissolve more of the sugar, which will yield a shiny top crust on your brownies.
- While the sugar heats a second time, crack the 4 eggs into a bowl, and beat them with the cocoa, salt, baking powder, espresso powder, and vanilla till smooth.
- Add the hot butter/sugar mixture, stirring until smooth.
- Add the flour and chips, again stirring until smooth.
- *Note: If you want the chips to remain intact in the baked brownies, rather than melting in, let the batter cool in the bowl for about 20 minutes before stirring in the chips.
- Pour the batter into a lightly greased 9" x 13" pan.
- Bake the brownies for about 30 minutes, until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean, or with just a few moist crumbs clinging to it.
- The brownies should feel set on the edges, and the center should look very moist, but not uncooked.
- Remove them from the oven and cool on a rack before cutting and serving.
