Most of the time, fudge brownies are associated with melted chocolate, but what if you have no time to really wait for it to melt and cool? I remember mentioning that during last Eid-ul-Fitr, we had an impromptu trip to Muscat to see my friend. Despite HD telling me that we may go, I wasn’t sure and then finally he broke the ice at 9 am that day morning, that we would leave by 3:.30 pm. You can imagine my panic – I hate going empty handed, that too to a best friend’s house and I had no time to go out and buy as such. In between preparing lunch, I searched through for an easy brownie recipe and ended up on this link on King Arthur’s website.
Those who have tried recipes from their site will vouch how reliable they are, so I went ahead with it, though I was wondering how fudge-like these would be without any chocolate in it. Still I went ahead with it. What you see is what is above! I clicked it then but I have made it again a couple of times on various occasions, including recently for Rasha’s class party and it has been wiped out clean! It really tastes like melted chocolate and is really gooey in texture. These brownies are definitely coming second in my list, after these totally fudgey ones!
My friend kept eating from her box as she was chatting to me, and I was like, “Aren’t you giving it to the kids?” She said, “Let me eat first!” 😀 At times, I do wonder that we give everything to the kids and forget to enjoy it ourselves. It is of utmost importance that at times you put yourself first and maintain your sanity. 🙂 I too do it at times and most of the times, the kids do find out and give me a clumsy face… 😉 Off to the recipe…

My all-time favorite chocolate dish; brownies! These look so fudgy and scrumptious; would not mind a few slices with vanilla ice cream!
Thank you so much Vanitha…
Those brownies look sooooo moist and fudgy. I don’t mind tasting a few of these brownies before the kids just to make sure that they taste good — that’s the advantage of being the cook 🙂 🙂
Haha.. for sure… Thank you so much Pavani… 🙂
These brownies certainly looks droolworthy and delectable. I am not surprised your friend could not stop eating them, they look delicious.
Thank you so much Nayna…
Perfectly done brownies. Nice and moist, my mouth is watering looking at the pics.
Thank you so much Sushma…
Rafee, you are just like me and your hubby sounds exactly like mine in such situations. I hate visiting friends minus home made stuff and always prefer such plans are a little bit with advance notifications so that one can prepare. Friends and family do expect us to get something, partly out of love and partly the fact that we blog about food. Haha. I am so glad your friend liked it so much and they look absolutely sensational. I have not made a brownie since ages but as soon as I drop few kgs, chocolate is going to be my new best friend. Cheers!
Haha… we are all waiting to drop weight to eat brownies… I have one frozen peice in my freezer, waiting for my cheat day… I like to make and take something while going, it is better than buying something right, and most of my friends don’t know that I am a blogger, so it kind of saves me… Thank you so much Vidya…
Perfectly made brownies! One of my favorites too as it’s so easy to put together!
Thank you so much Beulah…
Brownie is one of the favourites at home, yours looks so soft and crumbly. Nicely made.
Thank you so much Jayashree….
The brownie looks so tempting…even if I would have got the box have done the same like your friend…
Thank you so much Amrita…
Can i possibly replace the butter with oil??
I am not sure of this dear… I feel the butter-oil combination gives it the moistness… you may try using 1/4 cup butter + 1/2 cup oil, though I can’t assure of the texture…
Addictive Brownies Rafee, This Big Sweet Tooth page tempt me to try over this soft brownies..
Haha… thank you so much Sujitha…
Your brownies look so decadent and tempting dear! Adding eggs to brownies make their texture perfect!
Thank you so much Sonal…
The name fudgey is enough for me to drool over these brownies. They came out so amazing and perfectly baked. We are like your family in food choices and lifestyle.
Thank you so much Sapana…

Fudge brownie looking absolutely mouth-watering, perfect texture. Moist and just so tempting.
Thank you so much Bhawana…
Yumm yumm!
I have a new found interest in brownies and i do like it when I do not have to melt chocolate and can use cocoa powder instead, Saves me from washing an extra plate too:)
I prefer home made brownies to anything and love making different varieties each time… Thank you so much Ria… 🙂
Masha Allah they really easy to make, I must try making some for my grandkids wheny come visit
Thanks for sharing it sister
JazakAllah Khair sis…
Looks yumm and sounds hassle free.. Ma shaa Allah! JazakilAllahu Khayr for sharing. I would love to give it a try in shaa Allah
Waiyyaki JazakAllah Khair…
Rafeeda I too hate going to anyone’s home empty handed. I always make something to take. Sometimes impromptu visits can throw me off balance. I think that’s when a no actual chocolate in brownie can be handy. It looks fudgey and delicious.
I guess we are inbuilt with that feelings… hehe… Thank you so much Mayuri…
Loved these fudgy brownies , my kids love brownies and after seeing this post, i feel like making them too.
Thank you so much Swati…

I love brownies, especially the fudgy kind! I’ve been on the hunt for an easy peasy brownie recipe; this one seems perfect! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much Madiha…
Oh these brownies look delicious! It’s very useful to have a recipe like this that are easy to make.
Thank you so much Sainab…
Yummy!!! These look delicious. And the recipe is so simple and easy to follow masha’Allah. I will never understand why people settle on the boxed brownies — they aren’t any easier and they are chocked with chemicals. Way to DIY 🙂
I totally agree with you! I cringe at recipes that start off with a boxed pack, how tough it is to mix flour, leavening agents and salt? 🙁 Thank you so much Lynn… 🙂
Droool! I love brownies!
This looks great and will be having a cheeky try at these soon 🙂

Thank you so much Aishah… 🙂
I absolutely love brownies and usually try a cheat version with the Betty Crocker packets- but this actually looks pretty easy to do- will try it thanks!
I always prefer home made, never the boxed packs… do try and I am sure it will change your mind… thanks a lot Hafsa…
Instead of brown sugar can we use powdered white sugar? If yes, is it the same quantity?
Yes you can… use the same quantity, or even little more if you feel it’s less sweet…
Omg I absolutely love browniesss ♥️♥️ I am literally drooling. Sadly i dont have a oven to bake, is there any other option to make these? Stove top or something?
These brownies are really awesome, Fathima… you may try steaming them on stove top, I guess it should work beautifully, though I haven’t tried it myself…
