Best Ever Brownie Recipe for Kids
The Best Brownie Recipe Ever has a crackly top and bites of fudgy, chewy chocolate goodness inside.
You’ll never buy a boxed brownie mix again after trying this simple one-bowl recipe!
This is by far my favorite brownie recipe. They’re rich, fudgy in the middle, and completely homemade.
These brownies are far superior to the box variety, and I’m sure you have what you need to make them already sitting in your kitchen
Rich, chocolatey brownies are my favorite. These dense, fudgy brownies with crinkly tops absolutely deliver!
These are ideal for boxed brownie fans because the dense, moist, and fudgy texture is not dissimilar to that of boxed mixes. It does, however, get better.
These brownies are far more flavorful than any brownies from a box. They taste fantastic.
Brownies improve with age, so try to make them a day ahead of time. Allow them to cool completely in the pan; they are very soft when hot and easily break.
Ingredients for Brownies
These brownie ingredients only require one bowl and are ready in minutes.
You’re also likely to have all of the ingredients on hand. Allow me to lead you in the steps for making them.
If you like easy recipes like this one, try these blondies or my favorite chocolate chip cookies. Both are fantastic!
I’m sure you already have most of the ingredients on hand to make these brownies. What you’ll need is as follows:
Butter imparts far more flavor than oil ever could. We use 100% butter in the recipe and don’t think oil is necessary.
Sugar counteracts the bitterness of unsweetened cocoa powder and improves the texture of the brownies. It softens the centers and makes the tops crinkly.
Cocoa powder enhances the chocolate flavor of these cookies. I experimented with various cocoa powders. Natural cocoa powder, Dutch-processed cocoa powder, or raw cocoa powder can all be used.
Use whatever flavorings you prefer, but I like the flavor of Droste Cacao (a Dutch cocoa powder) in these brownies.
The eggs add richness and structure to the brownies.
The addition of salt and vanilla helps to round out the flavor of the brownies. Salt in baking may appear strange, but it, like salt in savory cooking, brings out the flavors of the recipe.
The final ingredient is all-purpose flour, but you don’t need much of it.
Brownie Ingredients Recipe
Remember, we’re looking for extra fudgy brownies, and keeping the flour to a minimum will help. More flour will be required in cakey brownie recipes.
Why not include chocolate?
This recipe is based on Alice Medrich’s Cocoa Brownies, which can be found in many of her cookbooks. When it comes to chocolate, Medrich is a genius.
Some brownie recipes call for melted chocolate mixed with butter, sugar, eggs, and flour, according to a Google search. This recipe is unique – and creative.
Medrich calls for cocoa powder instead of chocolate.
She fine-tuned the brownies by removing the chocolate (along with the fat and sugar that comes with it), so that the middles were softer and moister and the tops were shiny and candy-like.
The recipe is worth its weight in gold.
Step 3: Stir in the flour. After incorporating the flour, I beat the batter with a spoon for 40 to 50 strokes.
The batter will be fairly thick. This extra beating ensures that the butter emulsifies into the batter, resulting in perfectly baked brownies. On this blog, I usually warn you not to over-mix batters, but that is not the case with these simple brownies.
Step 4 is to bake them. The brownies should be baked for 20 to 25 minutes. I’ve dedicated an entire section below to explaining how I know when brownies are done baking, because no one wants an overbaked brownie, right?
What type of pan should I use?
The brownies are baked in an 8-inch square pan. Many readers have asked if it’s okay to use a larger pan since I posted the recipe. You can, but you must double the recipe.
If you double the recipe, you’ll need a 9-inch by 13-inch rectangular pan, and the brownies will be slightly thicker.
Because they cook more evenly, light-colored or shiny metal baking pans are preferred. Dark pans or nonmetal pans such as glass or ceramic can affect bake time and brownie texture.
If you only have these pans, keep an eye on the brownies while they bake and check on them 5 minutes before the recipe suggests below, and then every 5 minutes until they are done.
How Do You Know When Brownies Are Done?
It can be difficult to tell when brownies are done but don’t worry, with my tips, you’ll be a brownie pro in no time!
My first piece of advice is to set a timer. I’m terrible at staying focused. Without a timer to remind me to check on the brownies, I’ll end up with overbaked brownies!
They should take 20 to 25 minutes, so set the timer for 18 minutes to be safe. This way, you can keep a close eye on them near the end of the cooking process.
Make use of a toothpick. Insert it into the pan’s center and pull it out. If the toothpick has wet batter on it, they need more time.
If there are moist crumbs on the toothpick, they are done; if there is nothing on the toothpick, you may have overbaked them, so remove them from the oven immediately.
Make use of your eyes. Perfectly baked brownies will appear underbaked in the center. (That sounds strange, doesn’t it?) Because the brownies continue to cook as they cool.
So, when the edges appear dry and the center appears slightly underdone, remove them from the oven.
Even if you ended up taking them out a minute early, an underbaked square in the center of the pan is preferable to an overbaked pan.
In addition, if I were at your house, I’d happily eat the underbaked center.
Storage
Because of their decadent, moist texture, brownies freeze well.
Wrap the uncut brownie in two layers of foil and one layer of plastic wrap and place it in the freezer for up to three months.
What causes brownies to be fudgy?
Cakey brownies have a lower fat-to-flour ratio than fudgy brownies. So, in this case, butter and chocolate, add more fat.
A cakey batch contains more flour and is leavened with baking powder. The amount of sugar and eggs used is the same whether the cake is fudgy or cakey.
What are the three different kinds of brownies?
Brownie textures are divided into three categories: cake-like, fudgy, and chewy.
Cakey brownies are light, moist, and airy, with a slightly fluffy, cake-like interior, as the name suggests.
Fudgy brownies are moist, dense, and gooey, with a texture similar to fudge but not quite as dense.
Are brownies better with butter or oil?
The more flavorful option is butter, but it should be noted that butter contains milk solids and lactic acid, which react during leavening (especially when a chemical leavener like baking powder is added) to aerate the batter and help it rise.
This essentially means that butter can aid in the production of a cakier brownie.
What makes brownies chewy?
Brown sugar’s molasses content is responsible for chewy yet soft brownies. If you don’t want chewy brownies, leave out the brown sugar entirely.
If you want chewy brownies and your recipe doesn’t call for it, add 3-4 tbsps. brown sugar at the end for beautifully chewy brownies!
Which type of chocolate works best in brownies?
Dawn Perry, the senior food editor, prefers a combination of dark chocolate (around 72%) and semisweet chocolate. Yes, you will need to melt your chocolate.
However, do not add screaming-hot-just-melted Guittard to your eggs, butter, and sugar—this will cook and scramble the eggs, as well as potentially burn the chocolate.
What is the secret to keeping brownies soft and chewy?
Wrap brownies tightly in plastic wrap or foil and store them at room temperature in an airtight container, such as a lidded tray or Tupperware container.
This will keep your brownies fresh and keep potential contaminants out.
What causes brownies to be moist?
Canola Oil and Eggs – Because brownie mixes typically call for oil and eggs, these are two common ingredients for boxed brownies. Both add moisture and aid in the creation of a fudgy brownie.
What’s the deal with my brownies tasting like cake?
Batter Overmixing
If you want fudgy brownies, combine the wet and dry ingredients just until combined. Overmixing introduces more air into the batter, resulting in lighter, cake-like brownies rather than dense, rich ones.
Why are my brownies so cakey?
There could be several causes for your cakey brownies, but the most likely cause is that you used too much flour or baking powder.
This also implies that you may be using insufficient butter in your batter. Too much whisking can also result in cakey brownies.
