If you’ve been searching for the best brownie recipe, I believe that your search has officially come to an end… because this is the one!

Ok, ok I admit I think I’ve come off too strong by saying these are the best brownie recipes out there. But I truly believe it is… but I think you’re going to have to try for yourself and let me know what you think in the comments! There are so many good things about this recipe, but one of my favorites is that it doesn’t take forever to make or prep! I made these beautiful brownies in under 45 minutes. Which is perfect if you’re in a time crunch, or even if you want to simply make a wonderful dessert.
The Best Topping Options
There are countless topping options for brownies. But I came up with the top three. Don’t forget, you can totally leave them alone and not top them with anything. They’d be just as good!
- Powdered Sugar – Probably the most popular, and simple. But I think it adds another touch of sweetness and depth of flavor. Also, they look 10x better with powdered sugar!
- Sea Salt – Maybe a little controversial in a way… but I think the combination between sweet chocolate and an aspect of saltiness goes great together! You should totally try it if you haven’t already!!
- Caramel – I mean I think it talks for itself… A warm slice of brownie topped with caramel is what some people dream of. But you can totally make your dreams come true with this recipe, all you need is some caramel 😉
