Brownies are my nemesis!

[longhaulstress]

Has anyone got a fail safe chocolate brownie recipe they'd be willing to share??

I'm probably on my way to having tried near 20 different ones and none of them are exactly what I want. Most are too cake like or some not chocolatey enough.

I want a thick, rich, fudgey type brownie.
I went to a wedding once where the mother of the bride had baked the most unbelievable brownies for everyone and I curse everytime I try a new recipe that I didn't ask for hers!

Jamie Oliver’s, with added Nutella for me!

Having been on a similar quest for fudgy brownies, I figured an American recipe might be the answer. Honestly, this one has been consistently reliable and really easy www.marthastewart.com/1113417/thomass-fudgy-brownies

Forgot to say, let me know if you want the metric conversion.

Would it be unkind for me to bake some this afternoon while my husband is doing a 5:2 diet day?

Perhaps it would. I just happened to spot a bar of dark chocolate in the baking cupboard that wasn't used over Christmas...

I’ve used Nigella and the Green & Blacks recipes to great success. Pull out of the oven before you think you need to. They cool and solidify more! Better a bit sticky than too cakey.

Now I want brownies! 😁

Ignore the fact they're vegan, there's nothing weird in them and I'm sure you could use standard milk if you wanted. They are pure fudge, I always get asked for the recipe. Might make some now!

Jamie Oliver's 'fifteen' brownies. They even worked (in a slightly different way) when DD forgot the flour or eggs, can't remember which!

We also happily make with milk chocolate if that's what we have.

These are delicious

Thank you all so much.

This is going to be quest for lockdown working my way through all of these. Don't think my kids will mind either

Yes I agree with tornado of scouts - I fill the sink with cold water, put a freezer cooler block in it. When I think the brownie is just there and ensure it’s fudgy amd dense, put it straight into the sink so it stops cooking. So the recipe is important but also not overcooking it.

I use felicity cloakes recipes - “how to make a perfect brownie” in the guardian. It’s on the internet.

Made these before they really nice z

Friend gets lots of comments on these!

Jane’s patisserie website or Facebook page has lots of good brownie recipes. We love the kinder ones. Like others have said, it’s not the recipe that’s the problem, it’s taking them out of the oven in the right time. For me 30 min is too long, 25 min is too soft so I aim for 27-28 minutes cooking time.
