Why You'll LOVE This Recipe

  • ooey gooey brownie texture
  • rich flavor with three different kinds of chocolate from cocoa powder and chocolate chips
  • quick recipe prepped in just 15 minutes
  • made with simple ingredients that you already have in your kitchen

Ingredients

  • Unsalted Butter: You'll melt butter down with the chocolate chips for flavor in every bite!
  • Chocolate Chips: Chocolate chips will be melted and added to the batter and also added as a mix-in! You can use whatever flavor you'd like, though I usually use dark chocolate.
  • Eggs: 4 large eggs at room temperature give these brownies structure, chewiness, and thickness. I'd argue eggs might be the most critical ingredient in this recipe!
  • Granulated Sugar & Light Brown Sugar: Both sugars add to sweetness and contribute to the texture of the brownies.
  • All Purpose Flour: Plain, all purpose flour that is measured properly creates a fudgy brownie.
  • Cocoa Powder: Cocoa powder gives the brownies even more chocolate flavor, really contributing to the triple chocolate effect. I use natural cocoa powder.
  • Salt: Salt brings out sweetness and completes the overall flavor of the brownies. Do not leave it out!

Step by Step Process

STEP 1: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a 9x9 inch pan with parchment paper. Spray the paper with cooking spray to ensure the brownies come out cleanly.

STEP 2: In a medium-sized saucepan, melt chopped unsalted butter and chocolate chips together over medium heat.

STEP 6: Fold chocolate chips and other desired mix-ins into the batter until distributed evenly throughout. Pour the batter into your prepared pan. Bake the brownies for 30-40 minutes or until the top is shiny, beginning to crack, and the center does not jiggle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I bake this in an 8x8 inch pan?

Yes, you can bake this in an 8x8 inch square pan, but you will need to bake the brownies for an additional 5-10 minutes longer.

How do you tell when brownies are done?

The brownies are done when the top is shiny, beginning to crack, and the center does not jiggle when you move the pan. A toothpick inserted into the center of the brownies should come out with some batter. The brownies will continue to bake and firm up as they cool.

Can I double this recipe?

You can double this recipe if you bake it in a 9x13 inch pan!

Additions

Though I love these brownies as is or with chocolate chips mixed in, you can also add:

  • chocolate chunks
  • candy pieces
  • nuts
  • dried or fresh fruit
  • marshmallows
  • sprinkles

Expert Tips

Measuring Flour: Measure flour correctly by using a kitchen scale to measure 93g exactly. If you don’t have a scale, spoon the flour into your measuring cups before using a knife to level off the top. Overmeasuring flour will lead to dry brownies.

Mixing: Do not overmix when combining the ingredients. You want the mixture to just barely be combined, as mixing past that point at each stage of mixing could result in drier brownies without that thick, fudgy texture.

Bake Time: Bake only until the brownies are cracked on top, shiny, and a toothpick inserted comes out with a thin layer of chunky batter. The brownies will continue to bake as they cool, and overbaking will lead to dry, cakey brownies.

Storing

Store these brownies in an airtight container, tightly covered, or individually wrapped at room temperature for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 4 months.

To freeze the brownies:

  • Place the cooled brownies on a baking sheet or plate in the freezer for 30 minutes. Then, stack the brownies in a freezer bag or container for up to 4 months. Thaw at room temperature or reheat in the microwave or oven on a sheet pan at 350 degrees Fahrenheit until desired heat.

Description

These Triple Chocolate Brownies are the thickest, fudgiest, and most chocolatey brownies you’ll ever get your hands on. They’re made with cocoa powder, melted chocolate, and chocolate chips for the most indulgent flavor.


Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup (110g) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup (180g) semi sweet chocolate chips
  • 4 large eggs (200g), room temperature
  • 1 cup (210g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (120g) light brown sugar
  • ⅔ cup (93g) all purpose flour
  • ½ cup (42g) cocoa powder
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (180g) chocolate chips of choice + other desired mix-ins

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a 9×9 inch pan with parchment paper. Spray the paper with cooking spray to ensure the brownies are easy to remove from the pan after baking and cooling.
  2. In a medium-sized saucepan, melt chopped unsalted butter and chocolate chips together over medium heat. Stir constantly to ensure the chocolate does not burn. After the two are fully combined and melted, set aside to cool slightly as you prepare your other ingredients.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk room temperature eggs, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar together until smooth. Do not overmix.
  4. Pour melted butter and chocolate mixture into the bowl and whisk until combined throughout. Again, only mix until just combined.
  5. Add properly-measured all purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt to the batter and whisk only until you see the dry ingredients disappear. Mixing longer could result in dry brownies.
  6. Fold chocolate chips and other desired mix-ins into the batter until distributed evenly throughout. Pour the batter into your prepared pan.
  7. Bake the brownies for 30-40 minutes or until the top is shiny, beginning to crack, and the center does not jiggle. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with some batter.

Notes

Room Temperature Eggs: Make sure your egg yolks are at room temperature to create a smooth, even batter.

Mix-Ins: Add nuts, dried or fresh fruit, candies, sprinkles, or other desired mix-ins to the batter when folding the chocolate chips in!

Storing: After the brownies have fully cooled, store them in an airtight container, tightly covered, or individually wrapped at room temperature for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 4 months. To freeze, place the cooled brownies on a sheet pan or plate in the freezer for 30 minutes. Then, stack them in a bag or container. Thaw at room temperature before serving.

    Fantastic recipe! I never knew that brownies should still be a little chunky bits on the toothpicks! I added Andes mints and I’m
    So happy with the turn out.
