Best 4 Amazing Brownies Recipes

THE AMAZING BLACK BEAN BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line an 11- by 18-inch baking pan with parchment paper and lightly oil with canola oil spray.
• Melt the chocolate and butter in a glass bowl in the microwave for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes on high. Stir with a spoon to melt the chocolate completely. Place the beans, 1/2 cup of the walnuts, the vanilla extract, and a couple of spoonfuls of the melted chocolate mixture into the bowl of a food processor. Blend about 2 minutes, or until smooth. The batter should be thick and the beans smooth. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, mix together the remaining 1/2 cup walnuts, remaining melted chocolate mixture, coffee substitute, and salt. Mix well and set aside.
• In a separate bowl, with an electric mixer beat the eggs until light and creamy, about 1 minute. Add the agave nectar and beat well. Set aside.
• Add the bean/chocolate mixture to the coffee/chocolate mixture. Stir until blended well. Add the egg mixture, reserving about 1/2 cup. Mix well. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Using an electric mixer, beat the remaining 1/2 cup egg mixture until light and fluffy. Drizzle over the brownie batter. Use a wooden toothpick to pull the egg mixture through the batter, creating a marbled effect. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until the brownies are set. Let cool in the pan completely before cutting into squares. (They will be soft until refrigerated.)

AMAZING, REALLY AMAZING, FUDGE BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• The original recipe says to grease a 12 X 18 inch jelly roll pan, but I use a 9 x13 inch cake pan for intense denseness, and don't grease it, just line it with parchment paper).
• Melt the chocolate with the butter, either on the stovetop or in the microwave. Stir until smooth. Let cool for about 5 minutes.
• Mix in the sugar and the eggs and the vanilla extract.
• Add in the flour, baking powder and salt. Mix until combined.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
• Sprinkle the chips (nuts, whatever) evenly over the top of the batter.
• The original recipe says to bake for 25-28 minutes until a cake tester comes out with some moist crumbs attached to it. This never works for me. I usually have to let it go for about 40-45 minutes. This is probably because my pan is more condensed than the jelly roll pan.
• Do not overbake!
• I usually let the brownies cool in the pan, the keep them in the fridge overnight. The I just lift them out of the pan by the parchment paper, place the whole thing on a cutting board and then it's the perfect state for cutting into perfect brownie squares.
• Some of us like the edges the best, others prefer the center.

DIANE'S AMAZING BROWNIES

Steps:

• 1. Prepare brownie mix according to the box instructions, bake as directed in a 9x13 pan but take it out of the oven 5 minutes before it's done.
• 2. Immediately drizzle the sweetened condensed milk on top of the brownies. Then sprinkle the other ingredients on top. I like the coconut to be last because then it toasts nice in the oven.
• 3. Bake for an additional 5-10 minutes or so until the coconut is browning and the toppings are bubbly. Set out to cool, and while still warm with a knife sprayed with Pam cut into squares.
• 4. And then you get a big glass of milk and dig in!

AMAZING MACAROON BROWNIES

Steps:

• 1. In large mixer bowl, cream butter and sugars til light and fluffy. (About 2 minutes.) Add eggs vanilla and kahlua, and mix well. In small bowl, whisk flour, cocoa and cream of tartar, then gradually add to creamed mixture, beating. Scrape bowl and beat again til well mixed. Stir in nuts. Spread half into greased 13x9 baking pan. (*I find that brownies bake best in METAL pans, not glass. Glass seems to dry out the edges too much. **You can also line your pan with foil first, then spray with butter-flavored cooking spray, and pour into that. It makes cutting the brownies later MUCH easier!) For filling, combine ingredients and carefully spread over batter. Top with remaining batter. Bake at 350 for 40-45 minutes or til toothpick comes out clean. Don't overbake. Cool on wire rack. For frosting, combine sugar, milk and butter in a saucepan, and cook and stir until sugar is dissolved. Add the marshmallows and chocolate chips, and cook and stir til melted. Remove from het and add vanilla. Cool til frosting reaches spreading consistency. (About 25 minutes.) Spread over cooled brownies. Cut into small bars. (4 dozen)
