Lately, I’ve been spending more time baking, rediscovering old favorites and creating new ones that feel like little celebrations of everyday life.
Of all the recipes I’ve tried, this chocolate brownie recipe has quickly become my go-to.

Ingredients for the Best Brownies
Step-by-Step Baking Instructions
-
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can lead to tough brownies. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined. It's okay if there are a few lumps.
-
Use the right pan. Use a metal or glass baking pan for even baking. Avoid dark-colored pans, as they can cause the edges of the brownies to overbake.
-
Don't overbake. Brownies should be moist and fudgy, not dry and cakey. Check for doneness a few minutes before the recommended baking time, as oven temperatures can vary.
-
Add mix-ins for extra flavor. Customize your brownies by adding nuts, chocolate chips, or swirls of caramel or peanut butter.
-
Store them properly. Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a few days. You can also freeze them for longer storage.
FAQ
What makes brownies fudgy instead of cakey?
The secret lies in the fat-to-flour ratio. More butter (or fat) and less flour create that dense, fudgy texture we all love. Our recipe uses a full cup of butter and just enough flour to hold it together, giving you brownies that are soft, rich, and irresistibly fudgy. Pro tip: Avoid overbaking to keep them moist!
How do I get crackly tops on brownies?
Crackly, shiny tops come from beating sugar into the melted butter and eggs until well combined. This helps dissolve the sugar, creating that delicate crust as it bakes. In our recipe, you'll notice this beautiful finish — it’s the hallmark of a perfect brownie.
What is the secret to moist brownies?
It’s all about balance: the right amount of fat (butter), proper baking time, and not overmixing your batter. Overbaking dries them out, so pull your brownies out of the oven when a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let them finish cooking as they cool for ultimate moisture.
What type of cocoa powder is best for brownies?
Unsweetened natural cocoa powder works beautifully in this recipe. It provides a deep, rich chocolate flavor without adding extra sugar. Look for high-quality cocoa powder to elevate the taste — it truly makes a difference.
