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.
how much does this recipe make
Best brownies I have ever made! they taste so delicious and I crave them all the time, super easy to make as well :)
These are my favourite brownies to make by far! We currently don’t have any cocoa though and it was sold out in the supermarket… Could I add more of the chocolate, melted? Or more flour and chocolate?
Hi Chelsea
How can I make these egg free
Hi Chelsea
What is good chocolate what do you recommend .
Both dark and white
Thanks Trish
Probably my favourite recipe. Definitely my most frequently used. Love it. Easy peasy and delicious.
Just love this recipe. I dotted frozen raspberries on top. Awesome, nice and goolike
THIS WAS NICE!!!!!! may have put a bit over 100g of butter but oh well it is what it is:) the kids are gonna love it!!!!
Fantastic recipe ???????????????? i have just whipped up a batch for my sons school trip…i’m currently hideing in the kitchen licking out the bowl ????????????
This brownie is EPIC! Making amazing brownie has been on my ‘baking bucket list’ and Chelsea, you’ve helped me tick it off the list! I’ve tried other recipes and they just don’t compare!
The only discrepancy I’ve found is your note that it lasts up to one week in a container… it’s yet to last long enough to test that theory! HA!
Thanks SO much! Xo
Divine! Was craving something sweet and because I didn’t have anything at home I decided to make Chelsea’s brownie even with no chocolate in it. Just added heaps of almonds and it definitely hitted the spot! Sure will make again with all ingredients!
Hi Chelsea,
I need to make a few baking items and want to make this and your delicious Oaty Ginger Slice but am short on time. Will storing this in the fridge for three days change the taste/texture at all or once its back to room temp for serving will it still be just as good as fresh?
Can your Oaty Ginger slice be made in advance as well?
Hi Chelsea
Making these for my husband and he’d ideally like them warm with ice-cream. Can I warm them in the over from frozen, anytime we like them?
Absolutely, yum!
hi Chelsea :) will the recipe still work if you do not use chocolate chip?
Hi there
can we replace dark choc with dark choc chips??
Sure!
Danger! Danger! Danger! These brownies are so flipping amazing! One batch is never enough once you start you can’t stop ??
Just made these with Caramilk chunks and dark chocolate. Amazing!
This is my absolute favourite brownie recipe – and I have tried a fair few! Was wondering if it would be possible to freeze the batter raw, so that I can get it out and bake it when convenient? Or is it better to bake and freeze the finished product?
Bake and freeze x
Made these, used white dark and sneaked in some caramilk as well. so damn Nice, I think I over cooked them a little but they are still lovely
Hey Chelsea, made these last week and they were delicious! Just wondering, we have an abundance of beetroot growing in our garden, could I add this somehow to the brownie and if so how?
This is a fanastic recipe – I love mixing it up – hacked up all the remaining uneaten Cadbury Favouites from Xmas and chucked them in – good different tastes throughout – now back to a Moro bar to give it a 2nd layer of chewyness – mmmm
Such a quick and easy recipe and the results are soo amazing! I use dark chocolate all the way. Lasts a maximum of 2 days in my house. Thank you.
Chelsea I made the mistake of posting a double batch of this to my son and his mates at uni hall of residence. It travels very well in an ice cream container! I now have to send it at least every fortnight or I get pleading texts! I’ve decided they are getting one of your cookbooks for christmas as a flat present. Which one do you think would be best?
Hi Jane, that is lovely to hear! I think they would like At my Table :)
My husband said these were the best brownies he’d ever tasted! Crisp on the outside, fudgey on the inside. Thanks for the great recipe!
I always make these love them perfect every time this batch I added a table spoon of Greek yogurt just to see what happens hopefully it will work out about to put them in the oven now my 6 year old is inlove with these
Thanks chelsea. Yum. I added peanuts and did a caramel middle and chocolate topping. So made a peanut chocolate caramel brownie!! Ur brownie recipe is the bees knees
hi i cant have nuts just wondering what i would replace that nuts with
Hi there,
Can you change the white chocolate to dark chocolate?
Yes.
Hello Chelsea
What can replace eggs with?
Vinegar or flax egg?
Thanks
Hi could you replace the white chocolate with more dark chocolate?
I’m really not happy about this recipe! It was so incredibly easy to make and tastes so freaken delicious, I have no choice but to make it a lot more.
Really not good for the hips! ?
Hi – I just googled your brownie recipe and it looks scrumpy.
I would like to make your brownies for 100 people. How much will I have to times the amounts by and can I do this in one mixture or will it change the consistency?
Thanks,
Melanie
I’ve made these twice (just in the last week). I added thawed frozen raspberries which were still a bit moist and turned out fine. A little cakey (I prefer my brownie more on the dense side) but yummy. I also used whittakers dark chocolate with almonds. So goooood! Thank you very much for sharing, Chelsea x
Do you use regular sugar? or caster sugar?
Either will work fine.
Soooo this is the brownie mixture i usually always use and they are just perfect! I had oreo cookies to use up so i thought id google a brownie reciepe for them….. Boohoo BIG mistake!!! I should have known better than to stray from this 100% winning Recipe, and just added oreos to it. So il sit here sobbing into my dry crappy un forfilling brownies wishing they were chelseas. kicking myself ?
Haha well at least now you know! ;)
Hi Chelsea, thank you so much for this recipe, it’s now one of my go-to’s when I need to whip up something in a hurry that’s going to impress. I just started a new job last week so baked these for my workmates, (nothing like a little bribery right?) The boys were stoked, and are already asking when the next batch is coming!
Delicious! Come out not too dry – not too doughy. First brownies I’ve ever made and they were a hit in my house. Definitely my go to recipe for brownies from now on. Also used gluten free flour for this. I used white chocolate buttons in the mixture and they didn’t fully melt so when they were cut into squares its very noticeable and chocolatey which everyone loved.
Hi Chelsea, just wondering if this can be frozen?
Yes it can.
Going to try these in the holidays! Yum. Could I swap the macadamia nuts for another type of nut???
Sure!
If you are doubling the recipe would you double the cocoa because there are recipes that are similar but all the other ingredients are doubled and the cocoa is kept 1/2 ?
Hmmm, I’d double it…
I am not much of a baker and this was a breeze! I got lots of comments about how good it tasted. Thanks Chelsea!
Can you use milk chocolate instead of dark and imitation vanilla essence?
Yes you can.
Hi Chelsea, Could you double the mixture and use a roasting dish for the tray? I need to bake some for my partners work but still want some for home. Thanks
Yup!
Hi Chels!
If I wanted to make triple chocolate raspberry brownies could I just add frozen raspberries to this recipe? :)
I haven’t done this before but if you do I think you need to thaw them and drain them first!
Kristina ,just to let you know that I have baked brownies for years ( my recipe is pretty much identical) and often throw in frozen berries. Works best just scattering them over before they go in oven to lessen the chance of them breaking up – but has always worked for me :)
this is probably a stupid question but I am from the USA and I wanted to know what does 100g mean?
100 grams :)
Hi! Will this recipe work if I make it a day ahead and leave it in the fridge overnight before cooking?
OMG what a seriously easy and delicious recipe. I think the girls on night shift are going to enjoy this.
It came out perfect though!! So gooey and yummy! Thanks Chelsea
What a great recipe I used it for school in cooking tech and it was amazing thanks you the recipe
So good ??
Best brownie recipe ever! Thanks Chelsea :-)
These have got to be the best brownies i have ever made!! I used all dark chocolate instead of half white, it was just amazing!!! xox
