Ultimate Brownie Recipe
Rich and chocolatey this Ultimate Brownie Recipe that makes a super chewy centre and a perfect crackled top.
This perfect, chewy chocolatey brownie tastes great plain or topped with buttercream frosting. Try my recipe for Baileys Irish Cream frosting. The half tablespoon of instant coffee granules I added to this recipe made it taste even better! Not a coffee person, no problem, simply leave the coffee out.
Enjoy these brownies with a large glass of cold milk or top with some vanilla ice-cream, YUM! A decadent dessert for the true chocolate lover with combination of dark chocolate and cocoa powder.

thank you Zen
what is all purpose flour in Australia
Kristins, All purpose flour is just plain white flour.
If I cut the sugar to 1 1/2 cups will they still taste the same?
hi Jennie, most times with baking a recipe will not turn out the same changing ingredient measurements, but by all means give it a try and see what happens. Drop me a note if you try.
I was wondering since I’m not a coffee person, would I need to add the coffee?
By add means Fancine, leave the coffee out. The recipe will still taste great.
Hi,
You mention oil in the ingredients…but not when describing the recipe….could you please confirm?
Thanks 🙂
Hi Ann, adding the oil is in step 5 of the instructions. Hope you enjoy the recipe
If I want to add Walnuts, what adjustments to the recipe do I need to make?
Could I use espresso instead of the coffee
Espresso would taste great. I am a coffee lover.
