BAKING TIPS FOR FUDGY BROWNIES
- Prep time: To start this fudgy brownie recipe, heat the oven temperature to 300 degrees and spray your baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- Brownie batter: Add butter to a microwave-safe bowl and melt it for 30 seconds. Then add the melted butter, milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and eggs to a mixing bowl. Combine them with an electric mixer or whisk until creamy and smooth. For the next step sift the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt into the brownie batter. Continue mixing them into the wet batter until just combined, but be careful not to over-mix the chocolate mixture.
- Baking time: Spread the chocolate batter into the prepared baking dish, and put it in the oven for 30-35 minutes. They will cook best on the middle oven rack. After 30 minutes of baking time, stick a toothpick in the middle of the brownies to check if they’re done. If there’s an under-baked middle, then the toothpick will come out with batter on it. If that’s the case, put them back in the oven for 5 minutes. Finished brownies with a chewy texture will come out with moist crumbs. Let brownies cool before slicing and serving.

VARIATIONS ON FUDGY BROWNIES
- Chocolate chips: For an extra chocolate element in the simple brownies, add in a cup of chocolate chips. You can use white or milk chocolate chunks, or for darker chocolate mix in semisweet or dark chocolate chips.
- Wheat flour: If you want to add some healthier ingredients to this fudgy brownie recipe, you can use wheat flour. To make sure they still have a deliciously chewy texture, use half wheat flour and half white flour.
- More mix-ins: There are plenty of other mix-ins you can try in this recipe like peanut butter chips, walnuts, Oreo chunks, or pretzel pieces. Any of your favorite dessert mix-ins could make a fun addition to these Fudge Brownies.
- Brownie mix: Instead of making these brownies from scratch, you can use a boxed brownie mix. To make brownies fudgy, just like if you’ve made fudgy homemade brownies, try exchanging the oil in the box mix with melted butter, and the water for milk.
