I’m a huge brownie connoisseur. When I lived at home we went through a period where we made at least 2 boxed brownies a week. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that we had 9 people in the house… Regardless. My mom and I would take them out of the oven way sooner than the directions told us to, because we looooved gooey brownies. I was skeptical to make a brownie recipe with just cocoa and no chocolate bar base, but I have to say these are damn good. Definitely reminiscent of those boxed brownies you used to enjoy as a kid, only these are homemade, so they’re like twelve times better. My biggest piece of advice with these babies is: don’t overcook them. Take them out as soon as a knife comes out clean when you insert it into the brownies. Enjoyski!
For the brownies:
2 eggs
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/3 cup water

I made these today and 25 minutes was not enough baking time for them. I increased my time to 35 minutes and that was perfect for me. Just use your own judgment on the baking time:) They were a big hit in my family. Thanks for sharing. I want to try your scone recipe and caramel recipe in the future.
I just made these yesterday and they turned out amazing! I tried taking them out of the pan about an hour after baking…and they didn’t come out looking to pretty. It’s best if you wait the next morning to take them out of the pan. I did not cover them overnight, and personally like them a lot better the second day. They’re still gooey on the inside and soft on the bottom, but the top crust is a little bit crunchy. Great recipe!
I made these yesterday, but, they really didn’t want to come out of the pan! They were all thicker and very runny, even after I baked them wayyy longer than it called for…? The taste was great tho!!!
They’re definitely sticky as a result of the large amount of brown sugar. See the comment below you– taking them out of the pan the next day should definitely help. Otherwise, try baking them for 5-7 minutes longer, as this may help the brownies harden a little more. Hope this helps!
