Chewy And Fudgy Brownies Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch pan.
• In a large bowl, stir together the cocoa and baking soda. Add 1/3 cup vegetable oil and boiling water. Mix until well blended and thickened. Stir in the sugar, eggs, and remaining 1/3 cup oil. Finally, add the flour, vanilla and salt; mix just until all of the flour is absorbed. Spread evenly into the prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool before cutting into squares.

Steps:

• In a saucepan over low heat, melt the unsweetened chocolate and butter. Let cool.
• In a mixing bowl, beat the 4 eggs until light and frothy, add the salt and sugar; beat well.
• Fold the melted chocolate and butter into the egg mixture. Stir in the vanilla.
• Add the flour and chopped nuts.
• Bake for 25-30 minutes at 350° in a greased 9x13 inch pan.
• When cool, you may frost with chocolate frosting.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Toast nuts on a foil lined sheet pan until fragrant, about 7 minutes.
• While nuts are toasting break chocolate up into small pieces and place in a medium microwave safe bowl with the butter. Melt Butter with chocolate in the microwave, about 2 minutes at 50% power. Stir and continue to microwave at 50% power as required, stirring every 60 seconds. This can also be done over a double boiler.
• Let allow chocolate mixture and roasted nuts to cool.
• Meanwhile lightly beat eggs and vanilla in a small bowl and prepare a pan, 8 x 8 for thick brownies and 13 x 9 for thin ones. Line pan with foil or parchment and grease. Leave enough lining overhanging to lift the brownies out of the pan when complete.
• In a heavy duty plastic bag smash nuts with a rolling pin until well crushed, add remaining dry & optional ingredients - shake to combine.
• Slowly pour egg mixture into chocolate while stirring, mixture will thicken slightly.
• Add dry ingredients in three batches, stir with a wooden spoon and ensure that each batch is fully incorporated before adding the next. Spread mixture into prepared pan with an angled spatula or a large spoon.
• Bake the 13 x 9 pan for 30-35 minutes, the 8 x 8 for 45-70 minutes Or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the pan comes out just slightly moist. Cooking time varies all over the place depending on type of pan and your oven. I use natural aluminum pans, have a calibrated thermometer and keep a pizza stone in the oven for consistency. Whatever you do to insure that that you don't over cook, simply start checking when they start to smell like brownies! You can rotate the pan halfway through the cooking process to even things out if desired.
• Cool in the pan on a rack. Remove from pan by lifting foil liner, place on a cutting board and cut into squares.
