If you are sensitive to salt, use unsalted. The butter adds flavor and moisture to the brownies. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Unsweetened cocoa powder <\/strong>&#8211; while many fudge brownie recipes call for melting chocolate for the brownie base, I wanted to simplify my brownie recipe by using cocoa powder instead. Generally, cocoa powder means a more cake-type brownie, but I&#8217;ve adjusted the other ingredients to add just the right amount of moisture to these brownies.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sugars <\/strong>&#8211; I use a combination of brown sugar and granulated sugar in my recipe. The brown sugar adds moisture and deepens the flavor in these brownies while making the brownies slightly chewy in all the right places. The granulated sugar and the eggs create the crackle topping on the brownies. The combination of brown and granulated sugar is perfect here.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/addapinch.com\/espresso-powder-recipe\/\">Espresso powder<\/a> &#8211; the espresso powder enhances the chocolate flavor in these brownies (and other chocolate recipes, like my <a aria-label=\"chocolate cake (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/addapinch.com\/the-best-chocolate-cake-recipe-ever\/\">chocolate cake<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/addapinch.com\/perfect-chocolate-buttercream-frosting-recipe\/\">chocolate buttercream<\/a>) without adding the flavor of coffee. While I encourage you to include it, the brownies will still be delicious if you must omit it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Eggs<\/strong> &#8211; The eggs play an important role in this recipe. They are the only leavening agent used. Ensure your eggs are at room temperature to best incorporate into the brownie batter.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>All-purpose flour<\/strong> &#8211; I use all-purpose flour in this recipe. Once the flour is mixed into the brownies, you&#8217;ll want to be certain <em>not to overmix<\/em>. Overmixing will cause cake-like, dense brownies.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Salt &#8211; <\/strong>I use kosher salt in my recipes. If you use table salt, realize that table salt is &#8220;saltier&#8221; than kosher salt; therefore, you&#8217;ll need a little less. I would use 1\/4 teaspoon of table salt in place of the kosher salt in this recipe.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/addapinch.com\/homemade-vanilla-extract-recipe\/\">Vanilla extract<\/a> &#8211; as in most baking recipes, vanilla extract enhances the flavor and sweetness of the recipe. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Add-ins<\/strong> &#8211; Add-ins are completely optional. If you plan to add them, I recommend chopped pecans, walnuts, chocolate chips, or chocolate chunks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-make-the-best-brownies\">How to Make the BEST Brownies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Prep.<\/strong> Preheat the oven to 350\u00ba&nbsp;F.

Granulated sugar makes for a chewier brownie. The combination of both, which we have here in this recipe, gives you the perfect combination of a chewy, fudgy brownie, which is why we consider it the best brownie recipe!<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1695680263817\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Are melted chocolate brownies better than cocoa brownies?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Both types of brownies are delicious!
