Notes
- Cocoa Powder: The star ingredient here so you’ll want a nice high quality cocoa powder for a truly chocolate packed flavor. I do not recommend substituting melted chocolate in equal measure here as this can be quite dense, however, chocolate chips or chunks would work well as an addition.
- This recipe is perfect for beginners: This recipe is perfect for beginners who are just starting their baking journey. With simple ingredients and a one bowl recipe, makes it accessible for novices. So, even if you're new to baking, don't hesitate to give these Fudgy Brownies a try.
- Key to fudgy brownies: They are only mixed until the flour is fully combined which helps to avoid activating the gluten in the flour as well as only baking for specified time as each minute longer will result in brownies that are more cakey than fudgy.
- Making your brownies more cakey: Instead of baking for the recommended timeframe below, leave for a further 5-7 minutes or until a knife or skewer when inserted into the center comes out clean instead of fudgy.
- Customize to your liking: Enhance the flavor by adding your favorite nuts, like walnuts or pecans, or mix in some chocolate chips for extra gooeyness. You can even experiment with different toppings or swirls of peanut butter or caramel for a delightful twist.
- Square tin: A 18×18 cm or 7×7 inch square baking tin works well here, though a rectangle tin would also work well.
