The Best Brownie Recipe
The Best Brownie Recipe- these homemade brownies are thick, chewy, fudgy and topped with chocolate chips & walnuts!
Move over brownie mix from a box, these homemade brownies are the best brownies ever.
It has taken me a LONG time to come up with the Best Brownie Recipe. I’m so excited to share these delicious brownies with you today because fall is right around the corner and that means it’s time to get back to baking.
I always tell my family that September-December is my “busy” season because all I do is bake. And what better way to kick off this year’s baking season with this easy brownie recipe.
The awesome thing about this brownie recipe is that you’ll never need another brownie recipe ever again.
Just to name a few.
HOW TO MAKE BROWNIES
LINE YOUR BAKING PAN: First things first, line your 13×9 inch baking pan with aluminum foil, leaving enough overhang on the sides. Spray the foil with non-stick cooking spray.
DON’T OVER MIX THE BROWNIE BATTER: This is super important because if you overmix the brownie batter, you will have super dense, not so delicious brownies. So when you add the dry ingredients (flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt) to the creamed mixture (butter, sugars, eggs and vanilla), you only want to mix it until just combined meaning the second you don’t see anymore flour you want to stop mixing.
EASIEST WAY TO CUT BROWNIES: Once the brownies have cooled, lift the brownies out of the pan, folding down the aluminum foil sides. Here’s the trick, I like to use a pizza cutter like this one to cut my brownies evenly but if you don’t have a large pizza cutter, you could also use a sharp knife.
