Everyone likes to indulge every once in a while, right? These fudgy homemade brownies are spectacular! If you love chocolate, please do yourself a favor and make these for you and your friends! You will not buy brownie mix after you see how simple and delicious these are to make. They will literally be gone in seconds.
I made these for the Superbowl Party my husband and I are hosting this weekend. I mean if you have pizza and wings; you need a “naughty” dessert too, am I right? Nothing is better than this fudgy gooey brownie with a crackled flaky top to be the center of all desserts. Just look at the photos and tell me that you don’t want to eat the screen.

Fudgy Homemade Brownies
These fudgy homemade brownies are rich, chocolatey, and perfectly chewy with that signature crackly top. A touch of espresso enhances the chocolate flavor without overpowering it, making these brownies incredibly decadent and far better than any boxed mix.
Serves 9 brownies
Ingredients
- ¾ cup unsalted butter melted
- 1¼ cups granulated sugar
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 eggs beaten
- 1¼ teaspoons vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon instant espresso or instant coffee
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Prepare an 8×8-inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until well combined.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the eggs and vanilla extract for about 1 minute.
- Add the egg mixture to the butter mixture and whisk gently until combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, flour, instant espresso, and salt.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and gently fold together until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes on the top or middle oven rack. Avoid the bottom rack to help keep the brownies moist and fudgy.
- The brownies may appear slightly underbaked in the center when done—this is what creates their fudgy texture.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting.
Notes
Don’t overmix the batter, as it can change the texture of the brownies.
Instant espresso doesn’t make the brownies taste like coffee—it simply enhances the chocolate flavor.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Brownies can also be frozen for up to 2–3 months.

Awesome recipe easy to follow. The brownies are moist, they taste delicous. Made two batches one is already gone. No more box brownies for us that’s for sure. The coffee gives them an awesome taste. Never would thought to add. Thank you so much for sharing. Can’t wait to try more of your recipes.
Thank you so much! So happy you enjoyed them 🙂
yes yes yes! These were just perfect tonight. I’ll probably never buy a box mix again. I made ours with walnuts and white chocolate chips and they were sooooo good. One of the best things is that they’re perfect right out of the oven, no need for a long cooling period to cut. Soft and fudgey, so good. Mashallah!
Loved this ! Excellent recipe, I usually put brownies on the bottom rack but putting it on the top to avoid dryness was genius. Not turning back for any other recipe. Thanks !!

Officially my favorite brownie recipe! So easy to make and takes almost just as fast to prepare as boxed brownie mix. Turned out deep in flavor and texture was perfectly fudgy! SO GOOD!!
Amazing!! i tossed out all my other brownie recipes!!! delicious 😋
I decided to make some after seeing one of your recent videos. It was so easy and will definitely ditch the box mix from now on. They were so rich and only made it a day between three people.
I used a very fine espresso grind of regular coffee and turned out fine. I might try to adding another 1/2 tsp for extra coffee flavor. Thank you!!
I love the richness of the chocolate and the sweetness and sour of the pomegranate molasses and the savory tahini swirls; such a delicious brownie. My go-to recipe for brownies.
