Chewy Fudgy Brownies

This simple chocolate brownies recipe makes chewy fudgy brownies that taste so incredibly good. Prep time is only half an hour and when you try them you”ll never use a box mix for brownies again. You don’t even need a mixer, it really couldn’t be easier.

Tools & Equipment

• Medium bowl
• Silicone spatula
• 22,9×22,9cm / 9×9-inch square baking pan
• Parchment paper
• Whisk
• Wire rack
• Sharp knife
• Paper towel

Recipe Tips

• Adding eggs one at a time: this step is important to prevent the dough from curdling. Beat the mixture well between each addition in order to fully incorporate the eggs. It is completed when the mixture has lightened slightly.
• Vanilla: a vanilla note is a perfect match for these chocolate brownies. Make sure to use a good brand or a fresh vanilla bean, because it makes a difference.
• Chocolate: use real, quality chocolate. You can taste it in every bite. I use the brand Callebaut.
• Storage: Brownies stay fresh for up to 1 week in an airtight container at room temperature. For longer storage, freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight.
