How to Make Brownie Recipes

Here’s how you can create these delicious brownie varieties:

Ingredients:

• 1 (9-inch) pie crust – par-baked
• 1/2 cup of unsalted butter
• 1 1/4 cups of granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs, room temperature
• 1/2 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
• 2/3 cup of all-purpose flour
• 4 ounces of a dark chocolate bar, chopped
• 1/2 cup of butter, salted
• 4 ounces of unsweetened chocolate baking bar
• 1/2 cup of light brown sugar packed
• 1 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
• 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 1/2 cups of heavy whipping cream
• 1/2 cup of light brown sugar
• 6 tablespoons of unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 6 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate baking bar, melted and cooled
• 1 cup of all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon of baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• Flaked sea salt to garnish, optional

Directions:

1. For Brownie Pie: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare the pie crust and give it a quick par-bake. In a bowl, melt the unsalted butter and stir in the sugar and vanilla. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Then, mix in the cocoa, salt, baking powder, flour, and chopped dark chocolate. Pour the mix into the crust and bake for 30-35 minutes. Let it cool before serving.

2. For Brownie Cupcakes: Again, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake tray. Melt together the salted butter and unsweetened chocolate. Combine the sugars with the cooled mixture. Add the eggs and vanilla, stirring until smooth, then fold in flour and chocolate chips. Spoon the batter into the cupcake liners and bake for 20-25 minutes. While they cool, make the ganache by heating the heavy cream and pouring it over the semi-sweet chocolate chips. Frost the cooled cupcakes with this rich ganache.

3. For Brownie Cookies: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, mix the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Stir in the melted unsalted butter and melted semi-sweet chocolate. Then, add the flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt. Fold in the chocolate chips. Drop spoonfuls onto a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes. Sprinkle flaked sea salt on top if you like!
