My Favorite Fudgy Brownie Recipe

These brownies are one of my favorite recipes – rich, fudgy, and perfectly balanced with a soft interior and a slightly crisp top. I love adding raspberries, M&Ms, and Oreos, but you can easily customize the mix-ins to your taste 🤎

Ingredients

  • 170 g dark chocolate
  • 170 g melted butter
  • a shot of espresso (optional)
  • 140 g sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 100 g flour
  • 30 g cocoa powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • Your choice of toppings (frozen raspberries, chopped Oreos, peanut M&Ms…)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C and line a baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Melt the chocolate and butter together in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from the heat and let it cool slightly. If desired, stir in a shot of espresso to enhance the chocolate flavor.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar until the mixture becomes pale and creamy.
  4. Add the melted chocolate mixture to the egg mixture and stir until well combined.
  5. Sift in the dry ingredients and gently fold them into the batter until just incorporated.
  6. Prepare your toppings (such as nuts or chocolate chunks) and fold them into the batter. I usually add 150 g frozen raspberries and 100 g peanut M&Ms, but you can customize the brownies with any toppings you enjoy.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
  8. Bake for about 35–40 minutes. The brownies should be set on the edges but still slightly soft in the center. The characteristic crinkly top is a good sign they are ready.
  9. Let the brownies cool slightly in the pan before slicing. Serve them warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream – the contrast of warm brownies and cold ice cream is simply irresistible.
