Triple chocolate brownie
This chocolate brownie recipe is from my first cookbook, At My Table. Who doesn’t love a good brownie? They’re fabulous not only for the obvious reason (i.e they’re loaded with gorgeous chocolate), but also because they’re so quick and easy to whip up. I kicked the chocolate quotient up a notch with this one, I like getting chunky chocolate pieces when I take a bite. You can either slice the brownie into pieces, or serve it on a platter whole, pile on whipped cream, chocolate sauce and fresh berries and devour it as a dessert.
Ingredients
100g butter
1 cup sugar
2 free-range eggs
1 tsp pure vanilla essence
¾ cup plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
½ cup good-quality cocoa
100g good-quality white chocolate, cut into small chunks
100g good-quality dark chocolate, cut into small chunks
3/4 cup roasted macadamia nuts (optional)
Icing sugar to dust (optional)
Whipped cream and berries to serve (optional)
Method
Preheat the oven to 180c conventional. Grease a slice tin, and line the base with baking paper.
Melt the butter in a saucepan over a medium heat. Remove from the heat, and whisk in the sugar. Add the eggs and vanilla essence, and whisk to combine. Sift the flour, baking powder and cocoa into the mixture, add the white and dark chocolate chunks, and nuts (if using), and very gently fold with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Pour the mixture into the prepared tin.
Bake in the oven for about 15-20 minutes then test with a skewer. These brownies are done if the skewer still has a little of the mixture clinging to it. Remove from the oven and cool in the tin before slicing. Store in an airtight container for a week.
Hi Chelsea,Culd i use self rising flour instead of baking powder and normal flour just i dont have baking powder and wanted to make do with what i have at home.
These taste absolutely amazing, and are so simple to make. Adjustments I made were adding a pinch of salt and doubling the amount of cooking time, mine where still runny after 20 mins in the oven. But they all disappeared within a day.
Hi Chelsea I was just wondering how do you think it would make? BTW I love all your recipes that you share with all of us.
Hi i have made these brownies twice now and they really are the best.I highly recomend putting a fudge topping on top.BEST BROWNIE EVER!!!
hi ya, I’ve seen some brownie recipes add instant coffee to the mix. Ive tried it with a chocolate cake and it makes it really moist (so good!). Could it be added here or would it make it too wet?
I can’t say without testing it sorry.
“Store in airtight container for a week” bwahahahahaha you’re sooo funny! Lucky if they last an hour!
I know, I know…
We love this recipe. We have added frozen berries to it and cooked it a little longer, turns out devine!
Hey Chelsea, I made these for all my butlers and they loved them. So incredibly tasty.
I tried these and made them for all my butlers, they loved them
OH mY goodness these r amazing!!! but everytime i put the skewer in it comes back chocolaty?? is that normal?
Yes!
Amazhhhhing brownies. I added bits of Oreo biscuits as well- super yum!
Really quick and easy, great with gluten free flour. Thanks for the recipe. Our guests just cancelled, so more for us!!
Best chocolate brownie..and it’s fail free..my 11yr old son loves whipping this up.
I love these brownies. They are so easy to make – and I get asked to make them over and over thank you Chelsea :)
So many of your recipes are so good, I am asked to make them again and again.
Made this tonight with Whittaker dark choc and Whittaker white raspberry choc. First time making it and it was delicious. I’m sure this will be a winner in my family. Chocoholic.
These are amazing Chelsea! Thankyou so much for this great recipe! Lots of love – a much appreciative uni student trying to get through assignments.
Thanks so much for this recipe Chelsea, I have made about 4 different types of brownie and have always been amazed at how much butter and how many eggs are needed, but this recipe has surprisingly little of both. I have made this several times now, and its turned out great every time. I keep forgetting to get white chocolate but its still incredible. I haven’t had your books up until now, but based on this recipe alone, I think I owe you at least a book purchase…or two! ;)
Hello I am Ava and frankies cousin.
I’ve are off school today because of the weather. I have made your deliouse brownie. It is very simple to make. Mum has already scoffed down 10 pieces already. Thanks
This recipe is so easy to make. It was delicious to eat. Thanks for sharing your recipe.
Thanks for this Chelsea, so easy and yummy! Brownie points for me ha ha. I used gf flour and baking powder and still moist and amazing.
In the oven at the moment. Opps!!! Forgot baking soda!!! Surely it’s still edible, right?
This is the most DELICIOUS brownie and SO EASY TO MAKE!! Totally recommend it!!! I came across this at the start of the year and in the last 3 months I have made it so many times…for general eating…dessert…birthday presents… there is every reason to make this. Most households should have the ingredients in the pantry – you just need to buy chocolate and you’re away! YUM.
Look delicious! will try these ones out. I think it would taste especially good spread with berries on top!
I may have just eaten almost half of this chocolate brownie. I feel no shame just happiness its so good.
Just like to say. Wow, I don’t bake, can’t bake… But this is simple and delicious….
This recipie is delicious!! I made it for desert with friends and it went down a treat!!! Thanks Chelsea (=
Hi Chelsea
Thanks for this triple chocolate brownie – made it on Friday night for dessert and served it with cookies and cream ice cream. My husband and two sons LOVED it – so easy to make too.
The only problem is there was a bit of an argument between my boys about the last piece and who gets the ‘bigger half’! Really appreciate these recipes that you so generously have displayed on your website…will be buying your book very soon!
Cheers

Hi – looks like a delicious recipe. What size tin would I use. Thanks
Any square or rectangle slice tin would work :)
When you say sugar – are you referring to standard white sugar or caster sugar? Also can this be cooked on fan bake? Thanks heaps
Regular sugar. Fan bake is fine, just reduce the temperature by 10 degrees x
Hi Chelsea,
The butter salted or unsalted?
Cheers
Either or :)
Hi Chelsea..I am going to make your double chocolate brownies today but need advice please. When you say whisk ingred, is this by hand with a whisk or can I use electric hand beater. Cheers and thanks :)
You can use either :)
Hi Chelsea, this recipe is super easy and so yummy! My daughter made them 3 times last week they just don’t last for more than a night, thanks for such a fab recipe!
Hi Chelsea,
This recipe is amazing! I used it for my school’s baking comp and me and my partner won! Love your recipes on mEAT as well!
OMG!! Tried the recipe today and it came out delicious, I have to stop myself from eating the whole thing so the kids can have some after school :) Thanks for an easy, fuss free and DELICIOUS recipe.
Wow, this is amazing my wife made it first. Needless to say that was gone In 24hrs. Off to get more ingredients, so I could make it again. Easy and very nice. Thank you.
Have never successfully made brownies before and now I almost wish I hadn’t tried your recipe. So easy and delicous! Now I’m only 20 minutes away from a brownie. Yikes!
they r so yummy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just put a batch of these brownies in the oven.. The mixture is devine.. I used top deck choclate
I have made these twice now – the first batch was totally demolished in a couple of hours. I also told my sister about this recipe and her son has made twice now also. Very moreish and delightful to eat! Taking a batch to work tomorrow and I know they will not last long :)
I will give it a shot.
Hi Chelsea, I made these last night…. When I got up this morning, they were almost all gone! Definitely the best chocolate brownies I’ve ever made, and so so easy. Thanks for the awesome recipes, and keep’m coming!
I want to make this now but i dont have a fudge / slice tin. Reckon itd work in a roast tray thing lol?
Yes!
Can you freeze these brownies? Can you recommend any of your other baking to freeze? Thanks
Just made these – they are amazing!!!! Lucky I only have to keep them safe until tomorrow’s party!
Ultimate brownie receipe!!!
Thanks for this recipe. I have never made brownies before and my first batch apparently was out of this world. I have just made a second lot and it looks just as good. Easy recipe and well worth it.
Great to hear!
I just made this using Whittaker’s White Raspberry chocolate instead of white chocolate. First rate in every respect! The only thing I would have appreciated was something specifying the size of a slice tin – I don’t have a slice tin, so made it in a sponge roll tin, which I think was too big, but wasn’t sure. As the batter was quite firm I just didn’t spread it all the way along the bottom of the tin, and that worked fine.
Thank you for this comment about the size tin. I will now try it in a slice tin which is smaller that a sponge roll tin.
Hi Lu…your chocolate choice sounds divine…
Use a brownie pan… I got mine from a specialty kitchen shop…the pan was a bit expensive, it came from Chicago. I have had it for a number of years, it is sturdy and reliable. .makes a lovely brownie…and I never lend it out????????
Just made it and added frozen berries to the top before it went into the oven
These sound amazing. I’m a bit of a peanut butter lover. Do you think it would still work if I changed the white choc to whittakers peanut butter choc?
Sure!
I like the part of the recipe that says: “Store in an airtight container for a week.”
AS IF these would last a week! YUM!
Wow. I am IMPRESSED. This recipe was fast, easy and delicious. Did I mention fast? You know that baking you’re always being asked to whip up for school camps and fundraisers? – use this recipe and save yourself a lot of time and hassle for a fab result! It’s very hard to stop at eating just one.
I tried this recipe yesterday…. and my goodness they are good. I thought my last brownie recipe was a winner, but this one definitely takes the cake… or should that be brownie!
Delish! Thank you for sharing :)
Just made these – so incredibly yummy, have had to hide them from the hubby so he won’t eat them all! Love all your recipes, so easy to follow and always delish!
Thanks for sharing. These are amazing!
I can’t wait for my cookbook to arrive (my daughter has ordered me one from you directly, because she wanted to get it signed).
Hi Chelsea. How would i make this gluten free? Thanks
Yes please, I’d also love to know the gluten free version of this brownie.
Use gluten free flour (I personally find Edmonds or the Free From flours the best), and ensure that the cocoa, baking powder and chocolate are all gluten free. You may need to up the flour amount slightly, but most of the time using those two flours I don’t have an issue with that.
Would you do a 1:1 swap of the gluten free flour and some xantham gum too??
how many does it make?
