Easy fudgy brownies Recipe - How to make?
For the best brownies, always use high-quality cocoa powder - the star ingredient makes all the difference. Along with cocoa powder, you'll need sugar, eggs, butter, flour, salt, and a few tasty add-ins like chocolate chips or walnuts to take your brownies to the next level.
Beat the eggs and sugar together until smooth to achieve that signature crackly, crusty top. Gently heat the butter and sugar until melted, then whisk to dissolve the sugar completely.
Carefully combine this with the flour mixture, and then fold in the chocolate chips and walnuts. Bake in a preheated oven for 35 minutes, and enjoy the perfect, fudgy brownies.
- Step 1: Whisk the cocoa powder, flour, and salt.
- Step 2: Melt butter and sugar in a pan.
- Step 3: Take sugar and eggs in a bowl
- Step 4: Beat the eggs and sugar. Add the melted butter and sugar, ensuring it's not too hot to cook up the eggs.
- Step 5: Fold in the whisked cocoa and flour with the egg, butter, and sugar mixture.
- Step 6: Add the nuts and mix gently.
- Step 7: Transfer to baking pan.
- Step 8: Bake in a pre-heated oven for 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out a little sticky, moist crumbs.
Tips to Make Fudgy Brownies
- The main thing to know when making brownies is not to overbake them. A toothpick inserted can come out with a little half-cooked batter stuck on it. It keeps cooking once taken out of the oven. So don't be afraid to take it out at this point.
- Wait for the brownie to be completely cooled before cutting. It will be easier to cut once it has cooled. The tip to wipe the knives clean before cutting again was also used in the classic cheesecake recipe; this helps to get neat edges.
- The parchment paper hanging out on the sides of the pan helps with easy transfer to a plate to cut. It prevents the batter from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- A pinch of salt added to the batter enhances the taste of the brownie, so do not miss adding that.
- Walnuts give that nice crunch in a brownie bite. So you can add it if you like.

Recipe FAQs
They can become hard if there is not sufficient butter or oil, if there is overmixing of the batter, if too much flour, or if they are baked for a long time. It is important to take them out of the oven at the right time.
Brownies turn out more fudgy when there’s a higher ratio of fat, like butter and chocolate, compared to flour. This means a fudgy recipe will use more fat, creating a denser, gooier texture with a rich, intense chocolate flavor.
Fudgy brownies are perfectly baked when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs, signaling a gooey middle. If the toothpick is coated in batter, they need a bit more time in the oven.
