Favourite brownie recipe - dense and gooey

[RockingMyFiftiesNot]

I usually use Delia's recipe which is lovely, but I had THE most amazing brownies from a cake sale just before lockdown - seemed chocolatier, gooier and denser. Unfortunately the person serving didn't know who had made them so I couldn't ask for the recipe. I know 'gooieness' is partly to do with not overbaking and taking out before fully set but this was more than that I feel. If this fits the description of your tried and tested recipes please let me know, with a link if at all possible. Thanks

I always use Nigella's brownie recipe, it's the best one I've tried yet and everyone loves it. If you google Nigella brownies domestic goddess, it should come up. There's 6 eggs in it! They freeze really well. Instead of walnuts I use pecans

I won’t give up my recipe for love nor money. Sorry OP

DD has been making the Pret brownies during lockdown .... gorgeous. Google the recipe

Ha ha bestestbrownies I don't blame you! Thanks others for the suggestions x

BBC good food Best ever brownies are always a winner!

Agree with Nigella’s, they are amazing

Nigel Slater’s brownies are exactly what you’re looking for, dense and gooey. Recipe on the Guardian website.

I made these the other day. Amazing. You can’t serve them warm though as they are so gooey

Nigellas flourless chocolate brownies. The most perfect things in the world

Also agree with BBC best ever brownies

Thanks everyone - I needed to make them this morning so went with Nigella's as had been suggested by a couple of people and they were gorgeous. Brownie's are well loved in this house so will try the others over time. Thanks again

I always use the Hummingbird brownie recipe.
Lovely and gooey and never fails!

Thank you - another one to try!

I second the Hummingbird brownie recipe - yummy!

Another vote for Hummingbird. They always get rave reviews whenever I make them.

Another vote for BBC best ever brownies! I use a 200g bar of Aldi’s dark choc in the red packaging instead of 185g . Absolutely DELICIOUS

This recipe always works for me, cherry brownies are my favourite though hodgepodgedays.co.uk/recipe/chocolate-brownies-boozy-cherries/

This is my recipe which I tweaked from a couple of recipes I found online. It was years ago though so I can't credit the originals any more.

8x12" tray, if you use a different size it changes the cooking time.
In my oven, using this tray size, it takes 23 mins at 170°C (fan), but again this can vary with different ovens, so keep checking after 20 mins as you want the cocktail stick still slightly sticky, but no uncooked batter.

FUDGY BROWNIES

230g melted salted butter
3 tbsp vegetable oil
260g natural golden sugar
200g any dark brown soft sugar, eg, muscovado
228g eggs (weigh with shell on) at room temp
10ml salted caramel essence (or any you want)
¾tsp salt
135g plain flour
100g cocoa powder
190g chocolate chips, or a mix of choc chips and nuts

METHOD

Put oil, butter and both sugars into a bowl and whisk well.
Add eggs and essence and beat until lighter in colour.
Sift in flour, cocoa and add salt and fold in gently until just combined.
Fold in the choc chips, leaving a small handful aside to sprinkle over the top later.
Pour batter into tray and sprinkle over the remaining choc chips.
Bake just above middle shelf at 170°C for 23 mins or until just set.

PLEASE DO NOT OVERBAKE!!!

Once you figure out the timings for your particular oven this makes the best brownies I've ever tasted.

You end up with a 'crisp' outside (top) and fudgy goo-iness without being claggy 😋

I actually made them on the weekend, they're very rich though, and extremely moreish, so you've been warned 😃

Someone made me the ones from the Cadbury website last week. They were surprisingly amazing. Gooey and delicious.

I can make my own and they're fine but I find Betty Crocker's ready mix ones removed from the oven 3 mins early to turn out fantastically with the right amount of goo-iness.

And if you underbake them for about 7 mins which I've tried you can eat it with a spoon and it's like a chocolate bomb dessert.
