This is my favorite brownie recipe. These fudgy brownies are crispy, crackly on top, rich and fudgy  in the middle, loaded with lots of chocolate chips. 

These brownies are made completely from scratch with step by step pictures. This homemade brownie recipe is easy to make and tastes much better than box mix brownies.

These brownies taste fudgy and chocolatey, really delicious! It tastes even great when served with scoop of vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce.

Butter adds so much flavor to the brownies than oil. Here i used olive oil and butter, if you want more rich brownie replace oil with only butter.

Sugar balances the bitterness of unsweetened cocoa powder and adds to the brownie texture. It makes the centers soft and the tops crinkly.

Eggs add richness and provide structure to the brownies.

Salt and vanilla extract help to elevate the flavor of the brownies.

Why there is no baking powder or baking soda in the brownies ? Adding baking powder or soda lifts brownies up and creates a cake result. Here I am making a brownie which is so dense and fudgy, just one step up from eating chocolate.

How to check when brownies are done ? use a toothpick, stick it into the center and pull it out. If you see wet batter and few moist crumbs on the toothpick, the brownies are done. You don't want a clean toothpick!
