The best fudgy and moist brownies
This brownie recipe is straightforward to prepare and can be your base for any brownie. I call it Easy Breezy Brownies because they are super easy to make; this is a perfect base recipe for many other brownie recipes.
This recipe is fudgy and super moist that melts in your mouth. If you are looking for a rich and fudgy brownie recipe, this is for you 😉
Why This Easy Breezy Brownies Recipe Is Great
- This recipe does not require any melting chocolate. In this recipe, I have included cocoa powder instead of chocolate chunks. This makes the preparation super easy.
- Other ingredients are very easy to prepare.
- This brownie recipe is very versatile and can be modified to other brownie recipes by adding Oreos, nuts, white chocolate chunks, etc.
- The instant coffee in this brownie recipe enhances the cocoa powder flavor.
- To have the best Easy Breezy Brownies, it is very important to whisk the eggs and sugar very well. This will give the brownies the structure that we need. This step can take up to 3-4 minutes.
- Make sure to preheat the oven way before you put the pan inside.
- Always sift the dry ingredients to remove any lumps.
- DO NOT OVERMIX the batter. Overmixing will make the batter cakey and hard. No one likes hard brownies.
- Always include brown sugar in the recipe. Brown sugar contains molasses that will make the brownies more moist and fudgy.

- ¾ cup Butter
- ¼ cup Oil, Any vegetable oil

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line an 8X8 square pan with parchment paper. Leave an extra piece from the side to make it easy to lift the brownies.
- Melt the butter in the microwave and add the oil. Let cool down until you do the next step.¾ cup Butter, ¼ cup Oil

- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and distribute evenly.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes. The edges start to roll over and set. The center will be gooier, and that is okay. Brownies will keep baking as they cool down.
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO LET THE BROWNIES COOL DOWN BEFORE CUTTING THEM. Cutting the brownies early will leave you with a big brownie mess.
