Super Gooey Brownie Recipe

These chocolate gooey brownies are the height of happiness in this world. They're everything a chocolate brownie should be: dense, soft, fudgy, barely holding itself together, melty, quick, amazing. If you're a cakey brownie type person, that's fine, but this is not the recipe for you. Carry on.

This recipe is also phenomenal because it's so dang easy. It's one bowl, you don't have to melt any chocolate chips, and it makes a full 9x13 pan full. If you're like me, you don't see any reason to make brownies in a smaller pan, amirite? What's the point?

I've made a lot (A LOT) of brownie recipes over the years - and this one (my mom's, actually) is the best.

Moist And Fudgy Cocoa Brownies

It depends on your taste, but yes! Some people prefer the soft, fudgy texture of a gooey brownie, while others prefer a more spongy, cake-like brownie.

One of the hallmarks of gooey brownies is that they are always just cooked - or even slightly undercooked. The CDC says that as long as the brownies have reached an internal temperature of 160F, you're good to go.

Luckily, it's pretty easy! It differs slightly depending on the recipe, but for this one, all you need is a mixing bowl, the ingredients and a whisk, no stand mixer or hand mixer needed.

This depends on your personal taste, but using any cocoa is fine. Ghirardelli is a delicious option though if you're looking for one.

Honestly, the ingredients I think are pretty standard. The key to making these super gooey is melting the butter first (which I think makes it easier to deal with anyway). Here's what you're going to need:

Next, beat in your eggs, one at a time (note, this recipe uses a lot of eggs for a gooey recipe. I can't explain it really. It just works).

Bake in a 350F oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Make sure you watch these closely, you don't want to over bake them!

Melt your butter in the microwave, and whisk in the cocoa. Add the water. You can whisk in the icing sugar, but I prefer to use a hand mixer for this part. Beat in the icing sugar until smooth.

Pour the icing over the still warm brownies. This gives the frosting a lovely, smooth, glass-like effect that is just *chef's kiss*.

How To Make The Best Brownies

These freeze really well, even with the frosting on them! So go ahead and make them ahead of time. You can freeze the whole pan if you want, or cut them up into individual servings and keep them in a freezer bag. This way you can get them out one (or four) at a time. They'll keep for three months in freezer.

These chocolate gooey brownies are nothing short of indulgent perfection. Fudgy, chewy, and intensely flavored, they also come together fast. If you want to dress them up for dessert, serve them with vanilla ice cream and hot fudge sauce.

Ooey Gooey Brownies

Help spread the word. Sharing is a great way to support The Gourmet Bon Vivant so I can keep making new recipes and content. You're awesome for doing it!What makes a good brownie? Using both cocoa AND melted chocolate, and butter instead of oil. What makes the BEST chocolate brownies in the world? Adding in a generous amount of dark chocolate chunks. Fudgy, as gooey as you want, and very, very chocolatey, this homemade brownie recipe is incredibly easy, made in one bowl, and incredibly forgiving!

Choose how gooey you want them, just follow the bake times and my “toothpick smearing” test. Brownies can be frozen for up to 3 months, but nothing quite compares to when they’re freshly made, and still slightly warm….

The secret to a really great brownie is using both melted chocolate AND cocoa powder, plus butter instead of oil (because butter has way better flavour than oil). The combination of these plus minimal flour, just enough to make a barely-set batter, and brown sugar rather than white (for extra moisture and chewiness) is what will deliver that perfect rich, fudgy brownie you’ve been dreaming about.

And to make akiller brownie, stir through a generous amount of chocolate chunks. Not only will you get little pockets of gooey chocolate, it also makes the brownie extra fudgy because some of the chocolate melds in with the batter as it bakes!

These dreamy brownies start by melting chocolate and butter together before whisking in eggs and vanilla. Then just mix in flour and coco powder, and lastly stir in the let’s-pretend-it’s-optional chocolate chunks. Scrape into lined pan and bake!

The brownies in the photos and video are what I call “fudgy moist”. As in – super fudgy but not just a gloop of uncooked batter. You can pick it up with your hands rather than eating it with a spoon.

Gooey Brownie Pie Recipe {easy}

I have more elaborate brownies in my repertoire – such as these Outrageous Nutella Brownies (which certainly live up to their name!) and these Salted Caramel Stuffed Brownies (the caramel filling is creamy and set, like a soft fudge).

But this classic Chocolate Brownies recipe is the one I make most of the time. It’s my go-to becauseit’s everything I want in a brownie made with minimal fuss. The essential ingredients to make it super chocolatey, lovely and moist, and no unnecessary extras.

The other thing is that my brownie is sweet, but not tooth-achingly sweet. There are some brownie recipes out there that use almost double the sugar I do and they are far too sweet for me. The sugar in this recipe is just the right amount of sweet for me.No one has ever complained about my brownies not being sweet enough, that’s for sure!

Best Ever Chewy Brownies Recipe

Recipe video above. These are my go to brownies, the one I have been making for years that's super easy and outrageously chocolatey. The best fudgey chocolatey brownies made without fuss, in one bowl in 10 minutes. These are not the cakey kind, they're soft fudgey kind. Super rich and moist!

Also use cooking chocolate bars for the add in chunks (though eating chocolate will work here too, just that not all types/brands will melt so you get a smooth molten ooze like you see in the video)

3. Baking measures - Cups, tbsp and tsp measures differ slightly in size between countries. For most recipes on my blog, the difference is not enough to make a difference, or the difference is relative and consistent across all ingredients in a recipe. Where the difference DOES matter, I specify the measurements for different countries, like I do for my Chewy Oatmeal Raisin cookies. For this recipe, it DOES NOT matter so you can use cups or weights per the recipe, no matter which country you are in. The only exception is Japan, please use the weight measures, not cups.
