Jess McLaughlin on 2025-10-14 (5 stars): These are the absolute BEST BROWNIES I HAVE EVER EATEN!!! And I love that they are super easy to make. I did alter the recipe a bit, however. I omitted the chips, browned the butter before adding, and added 1/4 cup plain brewed coffee to account for loss of liquid.* I also used self rising flour instead of all purpose+salt+baking soda. *This was added to a double batch!*
Thank you so much for this awesome recipe!! 10/10 will make again and have already shared it with my closest friends!!!
M on 2025-10-11 (5 stars): I made these last yummy brownies last night in an aluminum 9 x 9 in pan with parchment paper. They were delicious. I personally love how your recipe makes them the PERFECT hybrid that’s a fudgy yet lofty consistency. So many brownies have either overly gooey/fudgy centers or alternatively are too much like a chocolate cake. Thank you for sharing this well-tested and perfected recipe.
