MOM'S BEST FRIEND BROWNIES



Mom's Best Friend Brownies image

We know that some kids would be happy to eat an all-sweets lunch. With these you won't have to stress quite so much. They're lower in fat and sugar than most other brownies, and baking them in mini-muffin tins keeps the portion size just right.

Time 1h50m

Yield 16 (2-inch) square brownies or 36 1-inch brownie bites.

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons canola or other neutral tasting oil
4 ounces semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/4 cup white sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
2 large eggs, cold
1/4 cup cocoa powder
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda

Steps:

  • Position rack in the lower third of the oven and heat oven to 325 degrees F. Use an 8 by 8-inch silicone baking pan or line a similar sized metal or glass baking dish with foil or parchment paper so it hangs over the edges by about 1 inch. For mini brownie bites, line mini muffin tins with 36 mini muffin liners. Spray the prepared pan.
  • Put the butter, oil and chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, and heat at 75 percent power for 2 minutes. Stir, and microwave again until completely melted, about 2 minutes more. (Alternatively put the chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl. Bring a saucepan filled with 1 inch or so of water to a very slow simmer; set the bowl over, not touching, the water, and stir occasionally until melted and smooth.)
  • Stir the brown and white sugars, vanilla and salt into the chocolate mixture with a wooden spoon. Add the eggs and beat vigorously until fully incorporated and the batter is thick and glossy. Add the cocoa, flour and baking soda and stir just until it disappears.
  • Pour the batter into the pan and bake until the top is crispy and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out with a few crumbs, about 30 minutes (40 minutes if not using silicone) for pan brownies, and 14 to 15 minutes for mini brownie bites.
  • Cool the brownies in the pan on the counter. Lift brownies out of the pan by the foil, if needed. Peel off the foil and cut into squares, sticks or shapes using a cookie cutter. Serve. Store extra brownies in a tightly sealed container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

MOM'S COCOA POWDER BROWNIES



Mom's Cocoa Powder Brownies image

Oooey, Gooey, Rich and Chewy. If you are a fan of cake-like brownies, these are NOT for you. This makes a small pan of brownies that are moist and dense and need no icing. They form a crust that cracks and is a wonderful contrast to the fudgy texture of the brownie. Like all other basic brownie recipes, these are a great base for adding in chunks of chocolate, nuts, or whatever. As an adult, I like them with a 1/2 tsp of espresso powder added. For the brownie purist, the nuts are strictly optional. When I'm having one of those "must have chocolate" days, these are the perfect fix. After 1 brownie, I'm cured.

THE BEST BROWNIES



The Best Brownies image

Everybody says their brownies are the best, but these really are the best. They feature the "holy trinity" of brownie perfection-a crispy, flaky top, chewy edges, and a fudgy center. Serve with a glass of ice cold milk.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Desserts     Cookies     Brownie Recipes     Chocolate Brownie Recipes

Time 1h20m

Yield 9

Number Of Ingredients 7

⅔ cup all-purpose flour
¾ teaspoon kosher salt
3 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
½ cup unsalted butter
1 ¼ cups white sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter an 8-inch square baking dish or pan, then line with parchment paper if desired to make getting the brownies out easier.
  • Mix flour and salt together in a bowl; set aside.
  • Place chopped chocolate and butter into a heatproof bowl and set over a saucepan with 1 inch of very gently simmering water. When the butter and almost all of the chocolate is melted, stir until smooth. Turn off the heat and set aside.
  • Mix sugar and eggs in a mixing bowl with an electric hand mixer until very airy, thick, and creamy, about 5 minutes. Mix in vanilla extract, then slowly drizzle in the melted chocolate mixture, while mixing on high speed.
  • Dump in the flour mixture and mix on low speed just until the flour disappears. Use a spatula to transfer the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread as evenly as possible.
  • Bake in the center of the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out virtually clean, about 30 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Use a spatula to lightly press down the higher parts of the brownie around the edge of the dish. Let cool to room temperature, 20 to 30 minutes, before removing and cutting into 9 pieces.

Best Mom's Brownies Recipe - Easy, Fudgy & Gooey

Delicious, rich, and fudgy, these homemade brownies are the perfect dessert for any occasion. Follow this recipe for a classic chocolate dessert that will be enjoyed by everyone.

Top 5 Mom's Brownies Recipe Cooking tips

  • Use high-quality chocolate. The type of chocolate you use will have a big impact on the overall taste of your brownies. Opt for a high-quality, dark chocolate with at least 70% cacao content.
  • Don't over-cream the butter and sugar. Over-creaming will create a cake-like texture, rather than the desired fudgy texture of brownies.
  • Don't over-bake the brownies. Over-baking will result in dry, crumbly brownies. Bake your brownies until the center is just set, but still gooey.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them. This will help them to set properly and prevent them from becoming crumbly.
  • Serve the brownies with your favorite toppings. Brownies can be served with a variety of toppings, such as ice cream, whipped cream, or fresh berries.

Conclusion: How to make Mom's Brownies

These brownies are the perfect combination of fudgy and gooey, with a crispy top and a rich chocolatey interior. They're also super easy to make and can be prepared ahead of time, making them perfect for any occasion. If you're looking for a classic chocolate dessert that's sure to impress, these brownies are the perfect choice.
