Baking pan
This brownie recipe will make enough batter for a 13" x 9" baking pan. My preference is to use a flexible silicone pan. You don't need to grease or flour the pan - after the brownies cool, just flip the pan over and unmold the brownies.
A glass or metal pan may also be used, but should be lightly greased with butter before adding the batter.
Flavor variations
Want to make this brownie recipe your own? No problem - add whatever ingredients you may enjoy:
- Lightly roasted nuts - pecans, almonds, walnuts, etc.... I prefer to use lightly roasted nuts to enhance the taste. To do this simply add a cup of chopped nuts to a saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally for a few minutes. You will know the nuts are ready when you start to smell them - just keep on eye on them as they can burn quickly.
- Add 2 cups of coconut flakes to the batter. You may also use shredded coconut but for brownies I prefer the larger flakes.
- For Peanut Butter Brownies, gently heat a cup of peanut butter in the microwave and swirl into the finished brownie batter.
- If you are a bacon-lover, fry a pound of bacon until it is crispy. Let cool and chop into chunks. I know, sounds weird, but bacon and brownies are a great combination.
- Make these into S'mores brownies. Add a dollop of marshmallow fluff to the top after baking, lightly torch the marshmallow and sprinkle with graham cracker pieces.
- How about Black Forest Brownies? Grab a cup of pitted cherries, chop coarsely (place on a paper towel to absorb excess juices) and stir into the finished brownie batter.
- You may also want to ice the brownies with caramel, fudge icing, German chocolate icing, etc... Whatever you think you and your family would enjoy - add it!
FAQs
These brownies are so gooey and chewy they are fine left at room temperature. Simply cover the brownies with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap for up to 4 days. Alternatively, freeze for up to 3 months.

Love these brownies, we tried them last week because I was craving them. I love it when it's gooey because it makes it taste better.
