Legend has it, a chocoholic wizard accidentally created these brownies while trying to conjure a portal to chocolate paradise! These aren’t your average brownies; they’re intensely chocolatey, fudgy, and boast a gloriously gooey center that will transport you to chocolate heaven. Get ready to experience Gooey Brownie Bliss like never before!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted

  • 2 cups granulated sugar

  • 4 large eggs

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
  • In a large bowl, combine the melted butter and sugar. Beat until smooth.
  • Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix! Overmixing can lead to tough brownies. For more on this, check out our article on Simple Baking Tips and Tricks.
  • Stir in the chocolate chips.
  • Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with fudgy crumbs. Don’t overbake! Slightly underbaked brownies will be extra gooey.
  • Let cool completely before cutting into squares. This allows the brownies to set properly and prevents them from crumbling.
  • Enjoy your gooey brownie bliss!

Why are these brownies so gooey?

  • The secret to extra gooey brownies lies in a few key factors: using melted butter (which creates a fudgier texture), not overbaking (slightly underbaked brownies are extra gooey), and the right balance of wet and dry ingredients. Additionally, the type of chocolate chips you use can also influence the final texture. For more tips on achieving perfect brownie textures, you might also like our guide on Baking Essentials.
