Jump to recipe

A gooey, chocolatey brownies one of my favourite treats especially when served with a sprinkle of icing and fresh raspberries. It is even better when the edges are crispy and the tops are crackly!

And no, these brownies aren’t healthified. When I am craving a brownie, I’m gonna eat the real thing. Cuz really, what is a life without delicious, real brownies!

Sometimes it is super easy to just grab a packet mix from the supermarket, add the necessary ingredients and pop in the oven. But I promise these brownies will taste as good as anything you will get out a box. Plus it uses ingredients that you can easily have stored in your cupboard.

Delicious Homemade Chocolate Brownies

In addition to the basic ingredients such as flour, sugar and salt, this recipe calls for some extra ingredients to make it as good as (and hopefully even better) than the box mixes. These key ingredients include:

• Coffee: not only is coffee delicious, when combined with chocolate it helps to intensify the taste of chocolate. Yumm!
• 2 eggs + egg yolks: using the combination of both whole eggs and egg yolks gives these brownies a luxurious rich batter. The eggs also help the batter rise during the baking process.
• Cocoa Powder: even though this recipe does include melted chocolate, the addition of cocoa powder make it that even more chocolatey. If your cocoa powder is lumpy, don’t forget to sift it!
• Vanilla Extract: such a small amount of this ingredient can have a huge impact on the taste and comfort of these brownies. Plus it amps up the taste of chocolate!

That’s it! Everything you need for super easy, delicious homemade Chocolate Brownies.

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup 1/3 Cocoa

• 1 tbsp 1 Instant Coffee or 1 Espresso Shot

• 50 g 50 Dark Chocolate

• 1/2 cup 1/2 Water boiling

• 6 tbsp 6 Butter melted

• 2 2 Eggs + 2 Egg Yolks

• 1 tsp 1 Vanilla Extract

• 1.5 cups 1.5 Sugar

• 1 1 & 3/4 cup Flour

• 1 1 sprinkle Salt

• 1 tsp 1 Baking Powder

• 50 g 50 Milk Chocolate roughly chopped

• 2 tbsp 2 Icing Sugar

Directions

• Preheat oven to 175 degrees Celsius.
• Combine cocoa, coffee and dark chocolate. Add in the boiling water and stir until the chocolate has completely melted.
• Add in the melted butter, eggs, egg yolks & vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.
• Add in the sugar, salt and flour. Mix thoroughly.
• Mix in the chocolate pieces and then pour into a lined baking tray.
• Place into the oven for 30-35 minutes or until the brownie is completely cooked through (check by using a skewer or sharp knife and placing into the batter- if it comes out relatively clean, it is ready).
• Once baked, allow to rest for 10 minutes. Sprinkle with some icing sugar, serve & enjoy.

Notes

• I find high quality chocolate makes this brownie even delicious. Why not treat yourself a little bit more and try a block of Lindt chocolate?
• Taking out the brownies at the right time is key! You don’t want them to be under baked but also not over baked. Try to take them out of the oven when the skewer or knife comes out with only a few crumbs attached. If you are doubting it, take them out just in case. No one wants dry brownies!
• Serving suggestions- absolutely love having brownies with some fresh fruit. Raspberries, blueberries or strawberries are all the perfect pair to these chocolately brownies.
