The Best Brownies – EVER!

March 10, 2013 By Deanna Piercy 1 Comment

I’ve had requests to share this recipe (begging, actually) so despite the fact I don’t have a picture, here it is. These brownies are rich, moist and utterly decadent. I promise that if you make them you’ll never buy another brownie mix.

Best Brownies Ever
original recipe from Saveur magazine, 
adapted from “Just Winging It”
Ingredients:
  • 2 sticks real butter (recipe calls for unsalted but I never have that on hand and use salted)
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (I use organic.)
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar (I recommend organic dark brown sugar.)
  • 2 t. vanilla extract
  • 1/2 t. salt
  • 1 cup flour
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9×13 baking dish very well with butter. Using a double boiler or two saucepans stacked (about an inch of water in the bottom pan), melt the butter and chocolate chips, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat. 
Whisk eggs in large mixing bowl. Add sugar, brown sugar, vanilla and salt. Mix well. Stir in chocolate mixture the fold in flour. Fold gently until well-mixed but don’t overmix. Pour into prepared pan, spread evenly and bake for 28-32 minutes. I like my brownies gooey and slightly undercooked so 28 minutes works for me and my oven. If you like yours more done bake until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. 
These truly are, hands down, the best brownies you will ever eat. If you try them, let me know what you think.

    I’ve made this recipe before…don’t remember where I got it, probably from you, or off the internet. I agree it makes a GREAT brownie!! Just a little hack that makes this easier, at least for me. I put the butter in a bowl, stick it in the microwave for 30 seconds, which doesn’t completely melt the butter, but it gives it a start. Then I add the chocolate chips, and put it back in for 30 more seconds. I stop and stir it, then repeat at 50% power, stirring after each time, until it’s completely melted. Usually takes it a couple of times, or a total of 2 minutes, 1 minute at full power, and 1 minute at 50% power, but the timing totally depends on the power of your microwave, how cold your butter and chips are, etc. I just keep doing it in 30 second increments, at 50% power, until I can stir it completely melted. Quicker and no extra pots!!
