These deliciously fudgy brownies don’t require baking powder and are so simple to make. You whip up the batter in a saucepan and it’s ready to bake in no time!
I love rich fudgy delicious brownies. Don’t you?! They are so delicious and I love the dense chewy texture and deep chocolate flavor.
This recipe has it all, cocoa powder, chocolate and instant coffee to give it that extra boost. It makes them one of the best brownies out there.
They come out just the way I like them. I used most of the batch for something fun that will be posted this weekend (it’s a super delicious chocolate brownie cheesecake that has chunks of these brownies baked right in!)
My husband and I ate the rest within minutes!
The best part about this recipe is that the batter can all be made in one saucepan. You melt the butter and chocolate, add everything else and put it in your baking dish.

Easy peasy! The brownie batter is delicious too, if you’re into that sort of thing.
Why You’ll Love These Brownies
Because you are going to melt together the ingredients in a saucepan, there is no need to wait for anything to come to room temperature. Waiting for butter to soften is agony when your sweet tooth is acting up!
Because there is no baking powder in this recipe, these brownies have a fudgy texture. Adding baking powder creates more air bubbles and results in a cakey brownie texture.
This easy recipe gets your the crackly top and the perfect mix of chewy edges and fudgy center. We like ours slightly underbaked, so we like to stay towards the lower end of the bake time.
For brownies that are completely baked through, continue to bake them until the toothpick test comes out clean. Either way they are going to be delicious, it just depends on the texture you prefer.
Storage
Brownies store best at room temperature. In an airtight container they will stay fresh for up to 5 days. For longer storage, you can wrap pieces of baked brownies in plastic wrap and aluminum foil then freeze for up to three months.
