Ingredients and Substitutions

Here is what you will need to make this Easy Brownie Recipe. I have suggested substitutions if any can be made: 

Sweetened condensed milk– This adds flavour and makes Brownies rich, moist and fudgy.

Butter-I use melted unsalted butter. You can use Salted Butter, but if you do skip the salt.

Sugar -This recipe uses light brown sugar which makes the brownies even more moist and fudgy. You can also use Dark Brown Sugar or a White Sugar like Caster Sugar or a combination of both. Caster Sugar will make them more crisp. 

Eggs - Use large eggs at room temperature.

Vanilla extract - A good quality Vanilla Extract adds lots of flavour.

Unsweetened Cocoa powder - Or use regular cocoa powder.

Plain Flour/All Purpose Flour - There is not much flour in most Brownie recipes and that is the case here too.  It can be replaced with Self Raising Flour. If you do use it, skip the baking powder.

Baking Powder - To lighten the batter and to help them rise.

Milk Chocolate Chips – Milk or dark chocolate chips work best. 

Salt - A pinch helps to balance the flavours in the brownie.

Milk Chocolate - Melted to drizzle on top of the Brownies.

How to make Condensed Milk Brownies

Here is how to make brownies with condensed milk. This is a really simple recipe that comes together in 10 minutes.  For the full recipe with measurements, skip to the recipe card at the bottom of the page:

Preheat oven to 180c/350f.

Line a 9x9 inch square pan/baking tin with baking paper/parchment paper making sure to leave overhang.

Beat melted butter, condensed milk and sugar together at medium-high speed in a stand mixer fitted with a paddle or in a large bowl with an electric mixer till combined. The mixture will be thick but silky.

Add Egg and Vanilla and beat again.

Stir in Cocoa, Plain Flour, Baking Powder, Salt. Stir until just combined. 

Stir Chocolate Chips into brownie batter.

Pour mixture into the prepared baking dish. 

Bake Brownies for 25- 30 minutes. 

Remove from oven and allow to cool completely in tin before cutting.

Tip - To make them cool quicker, let them cool in the tin for 10 minutes then remove from the tin onto a cooling rack.

Drizzle over melted chocolate.

Tips and Tricks for the perfect Brownie Recipe 

Fold Dry Ingredients in gently

When the Sugar, Butter and Condensed Milk are beaten, air pockets are created within the batter. You want to keep those there!

For this reason, when adding Flour and Cocoa to the batter, be gentle otherwise you will get cakey flatter brownies.

Sieve the Flour and Cocoa

For an extra smooth batter where all the ingredients get fully incorporated into the batter, sieve the flour and cocoa.

Baking Time

With Brownies, it can be difficult to know when they are fully done because they are supposed to be  slightly gooey in the middle. A good way to tell if they are done is when they start pulling away from the edges of the tin.

Cooling Time

Allow brownies to cool completely before cutting them. These brownies are sticky and fudgy and need cooling time before cutting. 

How to serve Brownies 

Serve these delicious brownies warm with a scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream.*

Storing Condensed Milk Brownies

Store baked brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days. 

How to freeze Brownies

These Brownies also freeze well. You can freeze them for up to 4 months in an airtight container wrapped in 1 layer of cling film.

Allow them to thaw in the fridge overnight or at room temperature for 1 hour.
