These are absolutely the chewiest, moistest, fudgiest brownies ever! I have tried adding so many different things to the batter, and they ALWAYS comes out great. They are also great without ANY add-ins! BUT by varying the add-ins, you can make different brownies every week (or day!!) SUPER EASY PREP! So, add "whatever floats your boat" and you will not believe how yummy they come out :) Oh, and the recipe doubles just fine--use a 9 x 13 inch pan instead and add a few more minutes of baking!

Marijuana floats my boat :D1Reply

Excellent brownies every time. My son doesn't like any additives in the brownies while hubs likes pecans in his, both ways work great. I have also tried making these with monkfruit instead of sugar and the taste is great, but I am yet to figure out how to make them less sticky when using monkfruit. A keeper for several years now, thank you for sharing!Reply

These are in my top two brownie recipes ... I have gone gluten free so thought they would be a good one to try with only 1/2 cup flour required. Only change was I used gluten free flour , they came out delicious !!1Reply

my first attempt at making brownies, glad i picked this one! i didn't have any suitable add-ins besides instant coffee so i added 1/4cup of that in with the cocoa. will have to add more next time, didn't taste like mocha like i'd hoped. very good though. i cooked for 20 min and let them firm up on their own. nice and fudgey. time possibly depends on material of the pan. i used a silicon one and they cooked faster then other said. course i also didn't add anything that gets gooey. i highly agree though, great recipe!!! 12 years later and this is still my go-to. You can add a few drops of mint or orange essential oil for a much stronger taste than extracts. Start with like 3 drops and work up slowly, tasting the batter so you don't add too muchReply -
Tried this with it baking at 300 for 20 mins and it still turned out dry to the point everyone who tried it chokedReplies 1
