EVERYONE LOVES BROWNIES! DELICIOUS BROWNIES RECIPES

Everyone loves brownies!

Brownies enjoy a universal appeal. Frosted, plain, fudgy or nutty – we all love brownies! We’ve got you a few recipes to make ooey, gooey and oh-so-yummy brownies.

 


Classic Brownie

 

Made with genuine love for chocolate, you can keep the classic brownies all for yourself or share with friends and family.

Serves 4 – 6 persons

Preparation time: 15 minutes

Cooking time: 45 minutes

·       1 cup flour

·       ½ cup cocoa powder

·       ½ cup granulated sugar

·       ½ tsp baking powder

·       ¼ tsp baking soda

·       A pinch of salt

·       ¼ cup vegetable oil

·       1/3 cup yogurt / sour cream

·       ½ tsp vanilla extract

·       Milk / water (optional, as needed)

Pre-heat the oven to 320-330 °C and grease a small baking pan with non-stick cooking spray or butter.

Mix the dry ingredients together and sift several times to make it fine and lump-free.

Add oil, yogurt, vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and mix well, but gently. Make sure you are gently folding in the mixture. If the mixture is dry, add a few drop of water or milk.

Pour this batter evenly into the baking pan and bake for 30 minutes. (The duration could vary based on the oven. Use a toothpick to ensure that the batter is fully cooked.)

Allow the baked brownie to cool completely and cut it into presentable squares.

Indulgent Brownie Sizzlers

Brownie sizzlers are an experience on their own. Unlike most desserts that are either warm or cold, brownie sizzlers play with your taste buds by offering both sensations as well as a burst of flavours that overwhelm your palette.

For Chocolate sauce

·       ¼ cup milk/cream

·       ¼ cup chocolate (milk or dark)

·       Plus, 1 scoop of vanilla ice cream (or any flavour)

Break down chocolate into small chunks and place it in a bowl.

Heat the milk or cream until it comes to a boil and then pour it into the bowl.

Allow the milk to rest with the chocolate for a few minutes and stir the mixture well to create a smooth and thick sauce.

(Alternately, you can use store bought sauce, just heat ½ cup in microwave until it starts bubbling.)

To serve:

Heat an iron plate for 2-3 minutes over a direct flame. Once the plate is hot, place it carefully on a wooden stand.

Heat the chocolate sauce and brownie for 30-40 seconds in a microwave, separately.

Place the brownie on the iron plate and pour the chocolate sauce on it as well as around it. You will see steam and hear the sauce sizzle at this point.

Take a scoop of vanilla ice cream and place it carefully on top of the brownie and pour the remaining hot chocolate sauce on the ice cream.

Beyond the classic brownie

Think all brownies taste the same? You will be surprised at what a single ingredient can do to completely change the taste and look of a brownie. Here are three simple one-step variations you can use in your Brownie batter to completely change its taste, smell and appearance. And yes, they are equally delicious and unique experiences on their own!

Salted Fudge Brownies

Melt 1 ½ sticks of unsalted butter and 2 ounces of dark chocolate on low heat, while stirring continuously.

Remove the mixture from the heat and add ¼ cup of cocoa powder, 3 eggs, 2 cups of sugar, 1 ½ tsp of vanilla extract, and 1 cup of sifted flour until the mixture is well incorporated.

Pour this batter into a greased baking pan and top it with ½ tsp sea salt.

With a butter knife, gently swirl the salt on the top layer of the batter and bake it for 35 minutes at 180 °C.

Coffee Brownies

In a heavy saucepan, melt 2 sticks of unsalted butter, 5 ounces of cocoa powder, 2 tbsp of instant espresso, over low heat. Whisk this mixture gently until it is smooth. Cool this mixture till it is lukewarm and whisk in 2 cup of sugar and 1 tsp of vanilla extract.

Add 5 large eggs one at a time and mix at regular intervals until the mixture is smooth and glossy. Add ½ tsp of salt, 1 tbsp of cinnamon and 1 cup of flour to the mixture and fold until the mixture is well incorporated.

Spread this batter in a baking pan and cook it for about 25-30 minutes at 180 °C.

Buttermilk Brownies

To make sour milk, add 1 tbsp of vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of milk and stir it well. Allow this mixture to sit for a few minutes. Add ½ cup of buttermilk or sour milk over a batch of freshly baked brownies, especially when they are warm. Allow the buttermilk to be absorbed by the brownies and cut them into squares or bars when completely cool.

With the remaining sour milk, you can make a delicious chocolate-buttermilk frosting. Combine ¼ cup of butter, 3 tbsp of cocoa powder and the remaining sour milk in a saucepan and bring it to boil. After the mixture has cooled a bit, add 2 and ¼ cups of icing sugar and ½ tsp of vanilla extract and blend it with an electric mixer until it becomes smooth. Mix in chopped pecans and spread generously on the buttermilk brownies.

Oatmeal Brownies

Loaded with the goodness of oatmeal, walnuts and raisins along with the gooey chocolate blend, this delicious brownie recipe tastes like heaven.

Serves: 40 people

·       1 cup softened unsalted butter

·       ½ cup granulated white sugar

·       1 cup light brown sugar

·       2 tsp vanilla extract

·       ½ tsp salt

·       2 eggs

·       1 tsp baking powder

·       1 tsp baking soda

·       2 cups of rolled oats

·       1 ½ cups flour

·       Raisins, chocolate chips, sliced walnuts (optional)

Preheat the oven to 350 °C for about 10-15 minutes.

Grease a 9″ x 13″ baking tin with butter or spray non-sticking cooking grease.

In a large glass bowl, mix the softened butter, white sugar and brown sugar till it forms a thick and creamy mixture of uniform consistency.

Add the eggs one at a time, while beating simultaneously.

Add vanilla extract, salt, baking powder, baking soda, flour, raisins, chocolate chips, rolled oats and walnuts to your liking. Fold this mixture gently and thoroughly.

Once all the ingredients are dampened, spread the batter into the baking tin uniformly.

Bake this mixture in the oven for 20-25 minutes or till it is fully baked. Use a toothpick to check if the centre portion of the mix is done well.

To serve: When cool, cut the brownie into small squares or bars and serve with a sprinkle of icing sugar and/or cinnamon.
