brown butter brownies

These yummy, chocolatey brownies are filled with crunchy pieces of the incredible Swedish caramel candy Daim. They're so easy to make and just absolutely DELICIOUS.

Brownies with Daim

unsalted butter (8 tbsp, 113 grams)

sugar (160 grams)

eggs

tsp vanilla extract

chocolate

all purpose flour (70 grams)

cocoa powder (20 grams)

salt

(small) Daim candies (100 grams)

Preheat your oven to 350F (176C)

Melt your butter over medium-low heat and continue cooking until the milk solids start to turn a golden color. Remove from the heat because they will continue to brown!

Add the granulated sugar to the browned butter and whisk for about 30 seconds to combine. Let this cool for a few minutes.

In a separate bowl, mix together your dry ingredients (flour, cocoa powder, salt)

Chop up your daim candies into smaller pieces.

Transfer your butter and sugar mixture to a medium mixing bowl. Melt your chocolate either on the stove or in the microwave. Add in your vanilla extract and melted chocolate and whisk well to combine.

Add the eggs to the chocolate mixture one at a time, whisking to combine. Make sure your mixture isn't too hot at this point so your eggs don't scramble!

Start folding in your dry ingredients until well combined. Note: If your batter looks split or really lumpy, you can add a little more flour to bring it back together!

Transfer to a parchment lined and greased baking tin (ours was a 9in x 6in glass baking pan).

Bake for about 30 minutes until a knife comes out mostly clean (it will have some crumbs stuck to it, as fudgy brownies shouldn't be totally set in the middle!). Let cool before slicing and enjoy!

The only thing better than a rich, fudgy brownie is a rich, fudgy brownie made with brown butter. These brown butter brownies have the most incredibly fudgy texture and that signature crackle top!

Brown Butter Brownies

unsalted butter

cocoa powder

vanilla extract

brown sugar

all purpose flour

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and line a 8 x 8-inch pan with parchment paper on all sides and set aside.

Place the butter in a small saucepan and set over medium low heat. Low heat is key to an even, golden browning! Use a silicone spatula to stir and scrape the butter from the bottom and sides of the pan every 10 to 15 seconds. At first, the butter will melt and foam, then over time the foam bubbles will get smaller and the butter will begin to emit a warm, nutty aroma. Continue to cook the butter, occasionally stirring and scraping with your spatula, until the butter begins to take on color and you see small floating brown bits, about 10 to 15 minutes (these are the milk solids in your butter separating and toasting). Once the a butter is golden brown, remove it from the heat.

Add the cocoa powder and vanilla to the brown butter and whisk to combine until no lumps of cocoa remain.

In a stand mixer fit with the whisk attachment, beat the eggs and brown sugar together until light, fluffy and pale in color.

Add the butter mixture to the egg mixture and use a rubber spatula to fold together.

Add the flour and the salt and fold the mixture until no streaks of flour remain. Last, fold in the chocolate chips, if using.

Transfer mixture into prepared baking pan and bake for roughly 25 minutes, testing for doneness by inserting a knife into the center of the brownies beginning at 20 minutes. You’ll know they’re done when the edge is set, but a knife inserted into the middle still comes out with a bit of brownie batter on it. It might take up to 35 minutes for them to cook through depending on your oven!

Your recipes are just amazing but plzz mention grams with ingredients also , it's really hard for me to understand cup measurements 😊 .

amazing! so fudgy and had so much extra flavor from the brown butter. I added I bit of espresso to add to the flavor but it did come out a bit cakey, next time I will probably use instant espresso. ven then, it was so incredibly delicious and will become a regular recipe for me.

Absolutely wonderful! I made these for a friends birthday and everyone loved them. Everyone was very disappointed that I didn’t make more. I’m thinking of adding some espresso powder in here for the next time. These would be perfect with an espresso martini!

These were so so bomb!! I loved them and I’m not even a brownie person, made them for my partner that loves brownies and cannot wait for him to try them. Added some frozen cool whip on the ones I served warm to family and they loved them too! Browned butter anything is soo good

I have been baking for years and my husband told me that these are the best brownies that I have ever made.

Awesome brownies. Mine took closer to 35 minutes but were the best ones I have ever made. Added 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

These brownies were so delicious! I made them exactly like the recipe but do you know why mine always turn out to be way thicker and not as liquidy? I followed all the steps. They were still so good! Great recipe!

My kids really enjoyed them so much!!! Thanks for sharing your awesome recipe.

Omg I made these and the batter is incredible. They are cooling right now but from above they seem to have the perfect crackle top and baked exactly how described in my oven. They were in for about 27 minut s and these might just be my fudgiest brownies ever!! Thank you Broma Bakery!

I came across these twice in one day on instagram and decided it was my sign to make them. My goodness so delicious! I took them to share and they were gone before noon! My mother in law told me the next day it was the best brownie she has had in her entire life. Thank you for this recipe!

I never leave comments, but this is the second recipe I've tried from Broma and like the one before (pumpkin cheesecake muffins) these turned out perfectly. Mine took a solid 35 mins in the oven. I could have left them in longer but I'd rather have gooey fudge middles than dry cakey brownies. If you want cake, bake a cake, right?  Go make these now and be sure to add chopped chocolate, there should be nothing optional about that ingredient.

These are the BEST brownies I have ever made. The rich nutty flavor of the butter in these brownies is unreal. I have probably tried 10+ brownie recipes and this is by far the best. I did have to bake for closer to 30 minutes but they came out incredible!

One sentence: Nothing beats Broma bakery 😍😍

These brownies were super simple to make and DIVINE. Stopping myself from eating the whole pan will be quite the challenge..

AMAZING taste to these brownies! I ended up needing to add an additional 1/4-1/3 cup flour to have them stand up faster cause I couldn't wait for them to properly cool in the fridge. Cannot wait to try twists on these 😍😍😍🤤🤤🤤🤤

oh my god…… these are probably the best brownies i’ve ever had. so incredibly easy to make and they are so good that i can’t put it into words 🤤

Love that these aren’t as sickly sweet as “normal” brownies. Whole family devoured them!

Undoubtedly the best brownie recipe I've ever tried! The crinkly top and the fudgey middle are to die for. This is my go to brownie recipe forever and ever.

These are perfect. Added 2 tbs of flour because I’m at high altitude. Love the texture.

HOLY EFFING HELL. These are AH-MAZING. THANK YOU!

This is where the search for the most amazing brownie recipe ends!!! Absolutely the best! Added 1/2 tsp of instant coffee to the butter/cocoa bloom and some walnuts- out of this world! Thank you for the perfection!!

These were absolutely incredible!! I do live at altitude so my bake time ended up being 42 mins, but they were the most fudgy, decadent brownies I have ever had! I added 1/2 tsp of espresso powder to my measuring cup prior to measuring the cocoa powder to enhance the chocolate flavor. This will be my new go-to recipe!

Thank you so much for this recipe! I made three batches worth of batter, I used 2 full bars (like the one you get in the grocery store) of choceur dark chocolate, and I think next time I'll use a tad less, just had some bits of too much melted chocolate, but that's more of a suggestion to anyone who plans on doubling or tripling, watch how much choc you use! Anyways, I was a bit worried that they'd turn out not sweet enough since I used Hersheys Dark cocoa (was the only Dutch processed cocoa powder I could find), but they were delicious! My family and my workplace loved them!

My oven must be hot as mine were too cake after just 20mins still delicious though will try more recipes

Holy guacamole! These are the best brownies I’ve tried. I’ve tried making homemade brownies before, but never liked the recipes. These are so fudge-y and delicious. The flavor is top notch! Thank you!! My kids devoured them too

just to check, is the 350f oven temperature for an electric or fan oven? i’m in the uk so have a fan oven but just checking! they’re currently in the oven - they smell amazing, thanks for the recipe!

More  “lava cake” density.  Great rich flavor!

I literally baked these two days in a row because the first batch ran out the very first day. These are the best brownies ever!!! I can’t seem to get that shiny crinkly top, but these are so addictive. This is my new go-to recipe.

Oh my goodness! These are just divine. Not much more effort than a box mix and a zillion times better. You really cracked the code for perfect brownies. Thank you!

I made these the other day and brought over to our friends for dinner. They all said these are the best brownies they ever had. I am now making these instead of cake for my sons birthday. So good! Almost fudge like but crispy top

The brownies are delicious! I used to melt chocolate for the batter and I wasn't that impressed. But with using only cocoa powder, wow. Will be using this recipe from now on ❤️

This recipe was a crowd pleaser! I doubled the recipe, and everything still worked out perfectly. With flakey salt on top to balance the sweetness, we're up for a major success.

If you're reading the reviews for this, you're probably just waiting for someone to affirm your decision to make these. Well, here it is: you will NEVER regret making these brownies. Period. They are perfect.

Me and my family had a great time baking these with my grandma. The brownies came out excellent! We devoured them in less than a day.

Absolutely perfect brownies for my first attempt and going forward, my go-to brownie recipe 💖

so fudgy it's so easy to make. taste so good and chocolatey even though it doesn't have melted chocolate like most brownie recipes!!!

This was my first time ever making homemade brownies and these do NOT disappoint. This recipe was easy to follow and fun to make. Browning the butter truly makes a difference in the overall flavor profile of the brownies. In my opinion, the true test of any baked dessert is how they hold up the next day; These brownies were somehow more moist than the day they were made. Do yourself a favor and make these ASAP!

These are so delicious. I’ve made the a few times and always get complements! I only use about 160g of sugar and it’s sweet enough for me. Love these!

Me and my daughter made these brownies for fun, and I gotta say, they are the BEST brownie recipe we have found! The chocolate chips go in so well with the flavor of the brownie. I found that it is not 100% necessary to use Dutch processed cocoa powder, and normal cocoa powder works too, and still turns out AMAZING. The Dutch cocoa powder is better if your looking for a stronger, more rich taste in the brownie, but normal Hershey's cocoa powder is still just as good. The most time consuming part is browning the butter, and me and my daughter found that it actually takes around 20 minutes for us. Other than that, this recipe is a 5/5 star and if you are looking for gooey, rich, chocolatey brownies, then this is definitely a go to. For anyone who hasn't tried these yet, trust me, you will LOVE them. My sister is the one who introduced us to this recipe, and I am SO grateful because it is the BEST brownie recipe you will find. Love them!

These taste amazing!!  Just wondering why the top didn’t crinkle and turned out kinda spongey

Just made these brownies! The flavor is so good! However they came out more cake like. What can I do to make them fudgy? Also can I use less coca powder to not make it as dark flavored?

Best brownies EVER. My sister who doesn’t like chocolate ate 2 of them.

These brownies were SO good and surprisingly easy to make! HIGHLY RECOMMEND✨

A super fudgy and ultra chocolatey brownie. With their rich, chewy texture and crinkled, glossy tops, these brown butter brownies are about to become your new favorite dessert!

The Best Brown Butter Brownie Recipe

(226 g) salted butter, browned

chocolate chips

TBSP Dutch process cocoa powder, sifted

TBSP vanilla

eggs, room temperature

(300 g) granulated sugar

(125 g) all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled

semi-sweet chocolate chips, optional

Lightly spray a 9 x 9 baking pan with non-stick cooking spray and line with parchment paper so that it covers all four sides of the pan.

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium high heat. Stir occasionally as it melts.

Once the butter melts, continue stirring as the butter begins to foam and make a crackling noise. Stay near the pan at this point and continue to stir often. The butter will continue to foam and then brown bits of butter will begin to form and fall to the bottom of the pan. Continue to stir until the crackling sounds stop and the butter is a rich, amber hue. Remove the butter from the heat and pour into a medium heat safe bowl.

Immediately stir in the chocolate chips, cocoa powder and vanilla. Continue to stir until chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is shiny. Set aside to cool for 8-10 minutes.

In a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat together the eggs and sugar on medium speed until light and creamy, about 3 minutes.

Once the chocolate and butter is slightly cooled, carefully stream it into the mixer while continue to beat the eggs and sugar on medium speed.

Once all of the chocolate has been added, continue to beat for about 30 seconds until combined.

Remove the bowl from the mixer and add the flour.

Stir with a wooden spoon or spatula, gently folding the flour into the chocolate mixture.

Add the additional chocolate chips, if desired. Do not over mix.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with an offset spatula.

Bake on the center rack of the oven for 45 minutes. The brownies may puff up in the center while baking but will deflate slightly as they cool. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of the brownies. The toothpick should come out almost clean, with just a few crumbs remaining. The brownies may take up to 50 minutes to cook depending on your oven.

Remove the pan from the oven and cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.

Amazing! So gooey and so tasty I cannot believe i found the perfect brownie recipe!

The title is 100% accurate-- best brownie ever!! I feel like I try some recipes and it's a "pinterest fail" but this recipe is so well written mine came out exactly how they were supposed to. These brownies are gooey with a crispy cracked top (magic). These will forever be my go to brownie recipe! Also learned how to actually make brown butter. Love it!

Honestly the best brownies I've ever tried! So easy and foolproof to make, they come out the same every single time and they're perfect. Browned butter just adds such a nice nuttiness and softness to them! I make a batch once every week or two

Go-to recipe for anything brownie related!! I'm not exaggerating when I say that I make this at least once a week for friends, family, or myself. I've added in all sorts of things - marshmallows, Oreos, soo much dark chocolate, etc. and the recipe always handles it super well. The brown butter in it is seriously just amazing, it really elevates the brownies and kicks the flavor profile up! It's only too bad there's not an option for 10 stars because I would give it!!

Sinfully delicious! I baked these in an 8×8 ceramic Pyrex at 300 F. They did take over an hour, I just kept checking with a toothpick til they were done. Took them to a club gathering and came home empty-handed. A success!

Can this recipe be doubled for a 13x9 baking pan?. I'm super excited to make these.

This is actually as good as if not better than boxed brownies!! We usually buy Ghirardelli brownies and I would confidently say I’d make this now instead of buying those! Will definitely be making again!

Hello! We LOVE  this recipe in my house! I was wondering if you've ever tried swirling peanut butter into the brownies? If so did it change the baking at all? Thanks so much!

I've made these several times and they sure hit the spot! An easy and perfectly fudgy texture and cholcatey taste and not overly sweet. Always my go-to brownie recipe, no need for boxed brownies anymore. Thank you!

I’ve made these twice this week. The second time I added mini m&amp;m’s to make them cosmic brownies :) 

Both times I used a 7x11 glass dish instead of the called for pan. I cooked @300° for 60 minutes.

LOVE these brownies. Super easy recipe to follow. The shine came out beautifully  &amp; the  taste was Amazing. Made them for my husband and all he could say was “Ugh, these are SO goood.” (*I made a more basic version, normal cocoa &amp; store bought Cadbury slabs - still came out tasting great!!)
