The Most Fudgy Chocolate Brownies

This recipe makes a batch of chocolate brownies that are so delicious and fudgy. The recipe uses a combination of cocoa powder and dark chocolate which gives these brownies a rich flavour.

These fudgy brownies are honestly so good as they have a rich and intense flavour. The brownies are also moist, fudgy and gooey which makes it hard to stop at one piece.

This fudgy chocolate brownies recipe is made in a 13 x 9 inch baking tin which serves around 20. If you want a brownie recipe for an 8 x 8 inch tin then try my triple chocolate brownies that are just as good.

The recipe is quick and straightforward and you can have a batch of brownies prepared and baked in less than an hour. The recipe is also adaptable and you can add other ingredients such as peppermint extract to give these brownies a minty flavour.

Ingredients for Fudgy Chocolate Brownies

Please find the full list of ingredients and quantities in the recipe card at the end of the post.

• Cocoa - use unsweetened cocoa powder.
• Flour - I use plain flour for this recipe.
• Salt - I use fine sea salt.
• Butter - use unsalted butter.
• Chocolate - you'll need a dark chocolate bar and chocolate chips for this recipe. The chocolate that I use contains 76% cocoa. You can use chocolate with around 50% cocoa but try not to use chocolate with less cocoa than that.
• Sugar - the recipe uses a combination of soft brown sugar and granulated sugar.
• Eggs - use room temperature eggs.
• Vanilla - use vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste.
• Oil - use an unflavoured oil such as vegetable, rapeseed or canola oil.

How to Make Fudgy Chocolate Brownies

1. Preheat the oven to gas mark 4/350^oF/180^oC/160^oC fan and line a 13 x 9-inch baking tin with parchment paper ensuring you leave some overhang. Start by sifting the cocoa powder, plain flour and salt into a bowl then whisk and set aside.

2. In a microwaveable bowl, melt the butter and chocolate in 40 second increments stirring each time. Once melted, mix well and set aside.

3. In the third bowl, pour in the brown sugar, granulated sugar and whisk them together. Whisk the eggs into the sugar one at a time, stirring between each egg. Add the vanilla extract and vegetable oil then mix until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

4. Pour the melted chocolate into the bowl with the wet ingredients and mix well then fold in the dry ingredients that you set aside earlier. Mix in the chocolate chips and combine well.

5. Pour the brownie batter into the baking tin and bake for 35 - 40 minutes.  Once baked, allow to cool before you cut them into 20 squares.

Recipe Tips

• For this recipe, you will need 3 bowls. One microwaveable bowl to melt the butter and chocolate. One bowl to mix the dry ingredients and another to mix the wet ingredients.
