Brownies are pretty much a staple bake for any kitchen. They are so easy to make, taste great and I’ve never met anyone that doesn’t appreciate a brownie still warm from the oven.
Gooey chocolate brownies are one thing I always buy from coffee shops, a go-to cake that I know is so hard to get wrong. We love to bake brownies at home and this gooey chocolate brownie recipe is something we bake all the time.
Making the brownie mix with white chocolate chips instead of milk chocolate choc chips adds more depth of flavour and moisture to the bake. But, if you don’t like white chocolate ones or don’t have any you can use any chocolate chips – or cut up chocolate chunks – that you have to hand.
We have been making chocolate brownies since the children were tiny and chocolate chip brownies are always something they really enjoy. We have always made them as something to share with family and friends or as a lovely gift.
Everyone loves fudgy brownies – that lovely consistency in the middle – along with the nutty crunch too. This is definitely one of our favourite baking recipes.
What equipment do you need to brownies?
Brownies don’t need anything special to make, and you probably already have everything you need at home, but this is the equipment we use:
- A wooden spoon
- A spatula
- Glass bowl
- Saucepan
- A baking tin
- Baking paper sheets
- Food scales
- Airtight containers for storage
Once you’ve got everything you need to make brownies you can just keep making them again and again – we often have a batch cookies in our house!
