Chewy Triple Chocolate Brownies (Best Ever) - Chewy loaded triple chocolate Brownies with a shiny crinkly top! My idea of a good brownie is one that is shiny and crispy on the outside with a really squidgy middle and this brownie is all of that and more. Gooey fresh out of the oven and fudgy after resting some time, these are the most luxurious brownies ever. They also include 3 kinds of chocolate - (white, milk and dark) and are super rich and chocolatey. They are genuinely THE BEST brownie I have ever had in my life.

Chewy Triple Chocolate Brownies (Best Ever)

I think by now it is pretty evident that I have come round to Brownies and they have become one of my favourite bakes ever. Here are some recent favourites Gooey & Fudgy Chocolate Mini Egg Brownies or The BEST Homemade Dark Chocolate Brownies or The BEST Sizzling Brownie with Ice Cream (Super Gooey!) or 3 Minute Sharing Microwave Brownies.

The secret to a good Brownie is to use very little flour (just enough to provide some structure) and lots of butter and melted chocolate!

The other secret is to use a mixture of caster sugar light brown sugar (brown sugar = more moisture and caster sugar = more chew).

What makes these Brownies extra special though is all the chocolate chunks running through them.

I used White Chocolate Chips, Milk Chocolate Chips and chopped Dark Chocolate.

Can they be made in a mini muffin pan?

Yes they can. Grease well then halve the quantity of the batter. Dollop spoonfuls of batter into the muffin rounds. Bake for 10 – 15 minutes.

What is a substitute for eggs in brownie mix?

For each egg you would substitute:

1/2 Mashed Banana

1 tbsp flaxseed ground, then mixed with 3 tbsp Water (needs to rest first till it becomes gel like).

4 tbsp Yoghurt

4 tbsp Buttermilk

4 tbsp Condensed Milk (but this is incredibly sweet)

4 tbsp Silken Tofu 

Can you make triple chocolate brownies with milk instead of eggs?

Yes you can substitute Milk for Eggs. Buttermilk or Sour Cream would work too.

Why is the middle of my brownie not cooking?

In this recipe, the centre of the brownies will remain gooey. It will need cooling time to set.

What does white Sugar do in Brownies?

White sugar is not as moist as brown sugar. Therefore adding some white sugar to a brownie or making a brownie just with white sugar, creates a chewier brownie.

Rich Chewy Chocolatey Brownies!

I cannot think of a treat that works better with a bunch of chocolate chips studded throughout then this. 

Brownies taste great with all manner of additions added to them but they are truly delightful with added chocolate chips. 

I love Blondies too which is a popular variation of Brownies made with Brown Sugar, Vanilla and White Chocolate chunks. 

The wonderful thing about Brownies is that they are super quick and easy to make and pretty much fool proof. Anyone can make brownies!

What are Brownies?

Brownies are an American recipe for a chewy chocolatey bake. One of the best thing about Brownies is that they are very easily adaptable.

You can add any of your favourite treats such as your favourite chocolates, caramel, cream cheese, dried fruits, walnuts, pecans, chopped chocolate, biscuits, nutella, Biscoff, pretzels, fudge.

Brownies can be made entirely without flour for super gooey brownies, they can be made fudgy/chewy by using brown sugar or they can be made cakey by baking them for longer. What is your favourite type?

In my opinion though the best brownies are chewy with a shiny papery skin.

They can be eaten by hand with a cup of your favourite beverage - such as tea, hot chocolate, warm milk or coffee. Or you can eat them with a spoon or fork served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

In this recipe, the chocolate chips add texture and also enhance the flavour of the brownies

Ingredients in Chewy Triple Chocolate Brownies (Best Ever)

Confused about the best ingredients to use? Not sure if a substitution will work? Here’s everything you need to know to make this recipe!

Butter - I use Salted. I know that many use Unsalted and then add a touch of Salt in the batter. You can do either.

Chocolate - I recommend a good quality dark chocolate that is in the region of 60% Cocoa Solids. However all cooking chocolate will work. Even cheaper varieties.

Plain Flour and Cocoa Powder - The ratio of this is very little compared to the wet ingredients and that is what makes them so good!

Use any brand or supermarket cocoa powder but not drinking chocolate powder which does not have much flavour and often has added sweeteners.

Plain Flour works best in this recipe. Self Raising Flour can’t be substituted for  Plain Flour in this recipe. 

Vanilla - A good Vanilla Bean paste or extract if you can find one. You can skip it too if you prefer.

Eggs - For structure, emulsifying and thickening. Large Eggs are recommended. Any free range organic Eggs are perfect.

Light Brown Sugar and Caster Sugar - For moisture and fudginess. You can also use Caster Sugar or Granulated Sugar but they will not be as chewy.

White and Milk Chocolate Chips, Dark Chocolate Chips or a good cooking Chocolate - Because YUM!

Salt - A pinch of any standard table salt or Himalayan salt can be added into the batter.  Or a small sprinkling of Maldon Salt than be added on top of the Brownies once baked.

How to make them

Preheat oven to Gas Mark 4/180 C/160 fan.

Line a square 9 inch baking tin with baking paper leaving some overhang to help lift them out later!

Melt Butter and Chocolate in in a large bowl oven a pot of simmering water, making sure that the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.

Beat Eggs, Vanilla and Sugar till pale and voluminous. At least double in size!

Stir in the melted Chocolate slowly. If using a stand mixer, using a very low setting to mix in.

Sift in Plain Flour and Cocoa and fold in very gently.

Fold in Chocolate Chips. Again a gentle hand is important here.

Scrape batter into tin and bake for 25 - 30 minutes. See note below.

Leave to cool completely before cutting.

Faqs

How long do you bake Brownies for?

Depending on how you like your Brownies, you may want to bake them for longer.

When these come out of the Oven at 25 minutes they still have a slight wobble and are really gooey. I let them cool before placing them in the fridge for 2 hours for a really chewy Brownie.

At 30 minutes, they have a wobble too but not as much. This is how long I like to bake them.

You can also bake them a little longer - 4 minutes for a more cake like Brownie.

Can Brownies be frozen?

Yes these chewy triple chocolate Brownies freeze really well for up to 3 months.

Can chewy triple chocolate brownies be left out?

These brownies can be left out for up to a week in an air tight container or metal tin but if you live in a hot country, I would suggest that you keep them in the fridge.

Can brownies go in the fridge?

Yes, however keeping them in the fridge for extended periods will dry them out. 

As they are so gooey once baked, also them to cool and then place  them in the fridge for 1 hour to allow them to set fully. Bring them to room temperature (remove from fridge 10 – 20 minutes before serving).

When are brownies done?

Brownies are ready to eat at the 25 minute mark.

When are brownies undercooked?

Brownies are under cooked when their internal temperature is lower then 73 C/165 F.

Why are my Brownies cakey?

Over baking brownies (longer than 30 minutes) makes Brownies cakey.

Why are my brownies dry?

This is down to overbaking which results in a dry, crumbly brownie. Incorrect storage also dries them out. If you do over bake them, slightly reheat in the microwave before serving. You can also serve with a ganache or chocolate spread.

How to store Brownies

Fridge - These keep well in an airtight container or tin in the fridge or on the counter top for a week. If it is particularly hot where you are, keep them in the fridge.

Freezer - Brownies freeze well up to 3 months in a good airtight container or wrapped in 2 layers of cling film followed by one layer of tin foil.

Defrost - At room temperature for 2 - 3 hours before serving.

Tips for Chewy Triple Chocolate Brownies (Best Ever)

They may be difficult to cut once cool and that is ok if you like gooey Brownies but if you don't my top tip for really chewy Brownies:

Fridge time

Keep them in the fridge if it is hot where you are or on the counter top in a metal tin and serve cold or slightly warm in the microwave before eating. 

Too long in the fridge can dry them out though so try to keep them on a counter top in a tin if possible.

Chocolate

Use Dark Chocolate for the Brownie batter!

Chocolate Chips

I used regular Supermarket Chocolate Chips for the milk and white chocolate in this recipe.

Your batter shouldn't be too warm when mixing them in because they can melt.

For the Dark Chocolate, I used a cooking chocolate from a Supermarket.

Baking Paper

Allow some overhang, to make it easier to lift the Brownies out of the tin.

Variations

There are endless variations for Brownies:

Adding 3 tsp of Instant Coffee to the Brownie mix intensifies the chocolate flavour.

Add your favourite Chocolates into the mix – Anything from Twix, Snickers, Quality Street, Celebrations, Terry’s Chocolate Orange.

Add your favourite Biscuits into the batter – Digestives, Bourbons, Oreos.

Add Chocolate Chips into the batter.

Add Cereals into the batter!

Stir in some Nuts such as Walnuts, Macademia, Pecans. In my experience Pistachios don’t work as well.

Add some tea some as Matcha or Darjeeling into the batter.

Add Spices such as Cardamom.

Add some zest such as Orange, Lime or Lemon.

Add a swirl of Caramel or Cheesecake at the end.

Add a Biscoff or Nutella spread and swirl it through the batter at the end.

Try adding your favouite snacks such as Pretzels, M&Ms.
