My Journey to Perfecting the Best Fudgy Brownies

Perfecting this brownie recipe from scratch took me years. I remember the first time my sister and I tried making brownies—it was an oily mess! We laughed so hard, but even though they were a disaster, they were still delicious. That moment inspired us to create the ultimate brownie recipe.

After countless experiments, we finally nailed it. These chewy brownies are so rich and flavorful that we even used to make brownie ice cream with them. (I’ll be sharing that recipe soon too!) I’m so excited to share this recipe with you because I know it will become a favorite in your home, just like it is in mine.

Ingredients for the Best Fudgy Chocolate Brownies

Here’s what you’ll need to make these irresistible brownies:

• Eggs: They provide structure and help create that perfect fudgy texture.
• Brown sugar (or panela sugar): Adds moisture and a deep, caramel-like flavor.
• Milk chocolate: Melts into the batter for a rich, gooey chocolate experience.
• Flour: Gives the brownies just enough structure without making them cakey.
• Cocoa powder: Intensifies the chocolate flavor.
• Granulated Sugar: Balances the bitterness of the cocoa powder.
• Butter: Adds richness and moisture.
• Cinnamon (ground): Mimics the flavor of brown butter, adding a warm, nutty note.
• Chocolate chips: For extra melty pockets of chocolate in every bite.

Essential Baking Equipment for Perfect Brownies

To make these decadent brownies, you’ll need:

• Square baking pan (9×9 inches): I use a Nordic Ware pan, which bakes evenly and gives the perfect thickness.
• Kitchen scale or measuring cups: For accurate measurements.
• Mixing bowls: One for dry ingredients and one for egg mixture.
• Whisk or electric mixer: To beat the eggs until light and fluffy.
• Spatula: For folding the ingredients gently.
• Pan: For melting the butter and chocolate.

Pro Tips for Making the Best Fudgy Brownies

— Beat the eggs until light and fluffy: This step is crucial for achieving the perfect texture.

— Add tons of chocolate: For that melty, gooey chocolate in every bite.

— Don’t overcook: To keep them fudgy, take them out of the oven when the center is still slightly soft. They’ll set more as they cool.

— Fold gently: Use a spatula to fold the eggs into the chocolate mixture to maintain their fluffiness.

— Use panela sugar if possible: It adds a unique flavor, but brown sugar works perfectly too.

— Add chocolate chips: Fold them into the batter for extra chocolatey goodness.

Common Brownie Baking Mistakes and How to Fix Them

• Overmixing the batter: This can make the brownies dense. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
• Overbaking: This dries out the brownies. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick—it should come out with a few moist crumbs.
• Opening the oven door too soon: This can cause the brownies to sink. Wait until the last 5 minutes to check on them.

Frequently Asked Questions About Brownies

How to Store and Freeze Fudgy Brownies

Store the brownies in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. To freeze, slice them, place the slices on a baking tray, and freeze overnight. Once frozen, transfer them to a safe bag or container. This prevents them from sticking together, making it easy to defrost individual portions. To serve, microwave for a warm, gooey treat.

Recipe in cups and grams. You can find the cup measurements in the printable recipe scrolling down at the end.

ingredients

• 4 eggs
• 200 grams brown sugar
• 300 grams milk chocolate
• 260 grams melted butter
• 90 grams all purpose flour
• 90 grams cocoa powder
• 50 grams granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 150 grams chocolate chips
• 50 grams chocolate chunks

Step-by-Step Instructions for the Best Fudgy Brownies

1) step one, Melt the Chocolate and Butter

In a pan over low heat, melt the butter until hot. Add the milk chocolate and stir until fully melted. If needed, return the pan to the stove briefly, but don’t let it boil. This step ensures a rich, gooey chocolate base for your brownies.

2) step two, Combine Dry Ingredients

In a mixing bowl, combine the melted chocolate and butter with the flour, cocoa powder, and ground cinnamon. Mix until well incorporated. This creates the decadent chocolate batter that’s the foundation of your brownies

3) step three, Whisk Eggs and Sugar

In a separate clean, dry bowl, whisk the eggs, granulated sugar and brown sugar (or panela sugar) until light and fluffy. For best results, use an electric mixer, mix for about 6 to 8 minutes.

4) step four, Fold in the Chocolate Mixture

Gradually fold the chocolate mixture into the egg mixture in two parts. Use a spatula and fold gently to keep the eggs light and fluffy. This ensures your brownies stay soft and airy.

5) step five, Add Chocolate Chips

Fold in 150g of chocolate chips and chocolate chunks for extra melty pockets of chocolate in every bite. This step takes your brownies to the next level of chocolatey goodness.

6) step six, Prepare the Baking Pan

Line a 9×9-inch square pan with parchment paper. This prevents sticking and makes it easy to remove the brownies after baking. Pour the batter into the pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

7) step seven, Bake to Perfection

Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F). Once hot, bake the brownies for about 40 minutes. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick—it should come out with a few moist crumbs. Remember, don’t overbakeif you want them fudgy and gooey!

8) step eight, Cool and Slice

Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan. This allows them to set and makes slicing easier. Use a sharp knife to cut them into squares.
