How to Make Brownie Mixture Taste Better
1 – Swap milk, cream, or coffee creamer for water
Using a flavored coffee creamer will make your brownies denser and fudgier. It will add depth and complexity to the flavor.
2 – Add an extra egg or egg yolk
An extra egg or egg yolk will add richness to your brownies.
3 – Swap butter for some or all of the oil
Swapping butter for some of the oil can make your brownie taste better. Some even suggest using browned butter.
4 – Add a pinch of salt
Using salt enhances the sweetness.
5 – Stir in chocolate chips, chunks, or pieces of your favorite candy or cookie
Adding chocolate chips or chunks will make your brownies more chocolatey. Plus, they add texture.
6 – Bake in a smaller pan
For thicker, more fudgy brownies use an 8″ x 8″ pan. It may take more time to bake, but your brownie will be a lot thicker.
7 – Check for doneness a few minutes before the package instructions suggest
Bake according to package instructions. To prevent overcooking, go on the lower end of the time frame.
8 – Use the toothpick to check for doneness
Bake until a few crumbs stick to the toothpick, not perfectly clean. This means that your brownies are not overcooked.
9 – Don’t cut them immediately
After baking, do not cut your brownie right away. Let them cool and set them completely.
10 – Line your pan with parchment paper for an easy-release
Lining your pan with parchment paper will make it easier for you to remove the brownies.
