Have a sweet tooth and are in need of a quick dessert? My Brownies with Chocolate Chips recipe is rich, chocolatey, and absolutely delicious. This homemade brownie recipe is easy-to-make, has a rich fudgy middle, and made completely from scratch in less then 45 minutes time.

Have you ever tasted homemade brownies before? They taste much different then the boxed variety. They are decadently rich. Not creamy smooth rich, but dark chocolate rich–if that makes any sense! I think the espresso powder, at times, can give it a tart aftertaste. Which is why you will find in my Brownies with Chocolate Chips that I have a very tiny amount of espresso powder which gives just the right flavor profile.

I have to preface that I grew up eating brownies from a box mix, so making brownies from scratch is a different field for me. Don’t get me wrong. I LOVE boxed mixed brownies. I use a box mix for my OREO cheesecake brownies and my Easter brownies!

The minute you take a bite of these Brownies with Chocolate Chips you know they are homemade. If you’ve never found a good homemade brownie recipe and looking to make a solid American Brownie, I hope you will give this recipe a try.

Bake the brownies for 30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out almost clean– with just a few moist crumbs clinging to it. The brownies should feel set on the edges, and the center should look very moist, but not uncooked. Remove them from the oven and cool on a rack for at least 30 minutes before cutting and serving

FAQ

Two brownies stacked on top of each other on yellow napkins.
What are the three types of brownies?

Three types of brownies are cakey, fudgy, and chewy. Cakey brownies are light, moist, and airy, with a slightly fluffy, cake-like interior. Fudgy brownies are moist, dense, and gooey, with almost the texture of fudge, but not quite as compact.

Are brownies British or American?

The brownie was developed in the United States at the end of the 19th century and popularized there during the first half of the 20th century.

Can I put chocolate chips in my brownie mix?

Yes, if you decide to not make my homemade brownie recipe you can absolutely add in about a half cup of chocolate chips to the batter and top with a half to a full cup of chocolate chips on top. The quantity will depend on how chocolatey you want the brownies.

Why do my chocolate chips sink to the bottom of my brownies?

If the brownie batter is not thick enough the chocolate chips will sink to the bottom of the brownie mix. This recipe has a thick batter that will not sink the chocolate chips to the bottom.

Tips & Tricks

Here are all my tips and tricks to try while making my Fudge brownie recipe.

  • Shiny Top Crust of Brownies – Heating this butter / sugar mixture dissolves more of the sugar, which will yield a shiny crust on top of the brownies.
  • Brownie Sundae – Brownies are a perfect dessert to have with ice cream or whipped cream, and even drizzle caramel for extra flavor. 
  • Storing Leftovers – Always store brownies at room temperature in a well sealed container for up to 5 days.
  • Removing the Entire Pan of Brownies at Once – If you plan to remove the whole pan of brownies out of the pan at once. Grease the pan first, then line it with parchment paper, and add additional non-stick cooking spray to the the parchment paper.

    The only brownies I've ever made also always came from a box. Perhaps it's time to graduate from that…
