BEST HOMEMADE BROWNIES



Best Homemade Brownies image

The ultimate recipe for brownies! They're fudgy, moist, and super chocolaty, with perfect crispy edges. From Weeknight Baking by Michelle Lopez.

Provided by Michelle Lopez

Categories     Dessert

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups granulated sugar*
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
2/3 cup cocoa powder (sifted if lumpy)
1/2 cup powdered sugar (sifted if lumpy)
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
3/4 teaspoons sea salt
2 large eggs
1/2 cup canola oil or extra-virgin olive oil**
2 tablespoons water
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F. Lightly spray an 8x8 baking dish (not a 9x9 dish or your brownies will overcook) with cooking spray and line it with parchment paper. Spray the parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the sugar, flour, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, chocolate chips, and salt.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, olive oil, water, and vanilla.
  • Sprinkle the dry mix over the wet mix and stir until just combined.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan (it'll be thick - that's ok) and use a spatula to smooth the top. Bake for 40 to 48 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with only a few crumbs attached (note: it's better to pull the brownies out early than to leave them in too long). Cool completely before slicing.*** Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. These also freeze well!

8 oz good-quality chocolate, semi-sweet
12 tablespoons butter, melted
1 ¼ cups sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
¾ cup all-purpose flour

HOW TO MAKE THE BEST BROWNIES RECIPE BY TASTY



How To Make The Best Brownies Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: unsalted butter, good-quality semisweet chocolate, unsweetened dutch process cocoa powder, espresso powder, granulated sugar, dark brown sugar, vanilla extract, kosher salt, large eggs, all-purpose flour, flaky sea salt

Provided by Vaughn Vreeland

Categories     Desserts

Yield 24 brownies

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 ½ sticks unsalted butter, plus more, softened, for greasing
8 oz good-quality semisweet chocolate, or bittersweet chocolate, 60-70% cacao, roughly chopped
¾ cup unsweetened dutch process cocoa powder, divided
1 tablespoon espresso powder
2 cups granulated sugar
½ cup dark brown sugar, packed
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 teaspoons kosher salt
6 large eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour
flaky sea salt, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Grease a 9x13-inch (23x33-cm) dark metal pan with softened butter, then line with parchment paper, leaving overhang on all sides. Grease the parchment with softened butter.
  • Combine the chopped chocolate, ¼ cup (30 g) of cocoa powder, and espresso powder in a heatproof liquid measuring cup or medium bowl and set aside.
  • Add the butter to a small saucepan over medium heat and cook until the butter just comes to a vigorous simmer, about 5 minutes, swirling the pan occasionally. Immediately pour the hot butter over the chocolate mixture and let sit for 2 minutes. Whisk until the chocolate is completely smooth and melted, then set aside.
  • Combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, salt, and eggs in a large bowl. Beat with an electric hand mixer on high speed until light and fluffy, about 10 minutes. It will be similar to the texture of very thick pancake batter.
  • With the mixer on, pour in the slightly cooled chocolate and butter mixture and blend until smooth.
  • Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350°F (180°C).
  • Sift in the flour and remaining cocoa powder and use a rubber spatula to gently fold until just combined.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake until lightly puffed on top, about 20 minutes.
  • Remove the baking pan from the oven using oven mitts or kitchen towels, then lightly drop the pan on a flat surface 1-2 times until the brownies deflate slightly. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
  • Return the pan to the oven and bake until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of the brownies comes out fudgy but the edges look cooked through, about 20 minutes more. The center of the brownies will seem under-baked, but the brownies will continue to set as they cool.
  • Set the brownies on a cooling rack and cool completely in the pan.
  • Use the parchment paper to lift the cooled brownies out of the pan. Cut into 24 bars and serve immediately.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the brownies will be. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the brownies tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the brownies at the right temperature. The ideal baking temperature for brownies is 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Baking them at a higher temperature will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Don't overbake the brownies. Overbaking will make the brownies dry and cakey. Bake them just until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them. This will help them to set and keep their shape.

Conclusion:

Brownies are a classic dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect brownies every time. So next time you're in the mood for a sweet treat, give one of these brownie recipes a try. You won't be disappointed!
