The first time we made this recipe we were inspired by the Green & Black’s chocolate brownies recipe from their recipe book years back. For us, we think baking with good quality chocolate is important for both flavour and texture. And choosing fairtrade chocolate for your chocolate brownies recipe is a great way to give back. 

To make gooey chocolate brownies you need a lot of butter, eggs, and sugar. The result is decadent and moist chocolate brownies.

This chocolate brownies recipe is so easy to make. You are simply going to melt together the butter and chocolate. Then you will combine with whisted eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract. Finally, you stir in sifted flour and a pinch of salt. And that’s it! You bake in the oven until it’s formed a nice crust on the top. And delicious decadent and easy chocolate brownies are yours to enjoy!

The recipe really is so simple and the result is the best chocolate brownies in our opinion.

Portion your brownies into 12 large slices if you’re feeling generous or have a sweet tooth. Otherwise, divide the baked brownies into smaller portions.
