    What makes brownies fudgy?

    A good, fudgy brownie is dense and gooey. The chocolate is prominent and the overall height of the brownie is generally lower. What makes a brownie fudgy? Fudgy brownies have a higher fat-to-flour ratio. They have more fat, usually butter, and a small amount of flour. The leavening agent in fudgy brownies is the whipped eggs. The key is to whip the eggs until they are light in color and thickened inconsistency.

    This brownie recipe is small-batch, made in an 8-inch square baking pan. These brownies do not require very much flour and are leavened by whipped eggs.

    • Large Eggs - Room temperature.
    • Pure Vanilla Extract
    • All-Purpose Flour
    • Unsweetened Cocoa Powder

    How to Make These Brownies

    Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease an 8-in square baking dish, set aside.

    In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together butter, avocado oil, and sugar. Whisk well for 1-2 minutes. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, whisk for an additional 2 minutes, until light in color.

    In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Carefully fold the dry ingredients into the egg butter mixture, until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.

    Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spread out evenly. Sprinkle the top with the chopped walnuts. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until just set. (Brownies will be soft and chocolaty with a crackled top.) Allow the brownies to cool before slicing.

      This now my go to recipe. I've made it twice in fact because the family loves it! Fudgy and not so sweet. It keeps well and tastes just as good a week after - assuming it lasts as long. You don't even need a mixer and no tricky steps. That's the way good food normally is...straightforward and uncomplicated.
