Supernatural Brownies

Super fudgey, super chocolatey, super easy brownie recipe.

I am always in search of a good brownie recipe. I have been pretty happy with the Dorie Greenspan Brownie recipe I have posted eons back (excuse the photography in that post), and generally that’s the recipe I make when I crave for brownies.  But when I come across a new brownie recipe, I have to pin or bookmark it, just so that I can compare it with the one I already use. Or maybe because I get an excuse to bake a brownie. Maybe.

I have tried a few recipes along the way- some were really good like An Edible Mosaic’s brownie recipe– fudgy and chewy, while some were super duper fudgey – still delicious but they leaned more towards a fudge than a brownie. Some I had yet to try and were lying in my boomkark folders or as pins on pinterest, waiting to be compared.

One of the brownie recipes I have had bookmarked for a while was Nick Malgieri’s Supernatural Brownies and the other day while I was trying out something else that needed a brownie in it, I decided to give the supernatural brownie recipe a go.

Four years back my mom had some brownies and every brownie that anybody ever bakes and she gets to eat, is for sure compared to those brownies she had four years back. And none have ever reached to that level of greatness. When I asked her how did this fare against those, she said these were as good if not better. Score!

Since she is my taste expert these days and getting a thumbs up from her (believe me she can be very critical of my baking and cooking), meant that this recipe had to be shared with you all today.

Since brownies require very few ingredients, its important you use the best quality ingredients you can find. Especially the chocolate. The better the chocolate the better the brownie will be. I speak from experience.

Also, I always add a little espresso or instant coffee powder to my chocolate based baked goods. You don’t taste the coffee that much, but that little amount of coffee heightens the flavor of chocolate in your baked good. Try it. It works.

I also like my chocolate brownies chocolatey, so I adapted the recipe to include cocoa powder, and I had no regrets, and I hope when you try it, you don’t either!
