These easy homemade brownies are from some of the top foodie sites, but they are all easy to make! Even if it’s your first time making brownies, you’ll be able to make all these recipes easily.
When we have a craving for something sweet in my house, brownies are one of our favorite desserts, especially with a scoop of ice cream!
However, when bringing brownies to a picnic or party, I sometimes feel like there are five pans filled with plain old chocolate brownies out of a box.
I don’t know about you, but my favorite thing is seeing my creations disappear at parties, so I thought I’d gather some recipes for easy homemade brownies and share them with you!
From this simple Double Chocolate Homemade Brownie recipe to Brownie Bottom Cheesecake Bars to Whiskey Bacon Brownies, you’re sure to find something spectacular to make for your family and friends!
Even if you’re dieting (what are you doing looking at these brownies?!) I have a list of low calorie Weight Watchers Brownies recipes that are perfect for enjoying a treat and watching your weight!
What You Need
If you’re making a pan of brownies, you’ll need either a square pan or a rectangular brownie pan. This one with dividers is amazing! You can use a metal pan, glass pan, or a silicone pan. All work well.
For the recipes that use a box as a base, this box mix from Ghirardelli is fabulous and around the same price as others. Their chocolate chips are also the best.

Does it matter if I beat the eggs first when making brownies?
Actually, yes! You should always beat the eggs first when baking. And while we’re talking eggs, it’s best if they are room temperature, too. Cold eggs will firm up the mix and not give you the perfect texture you’re looking for.
What happens if I overmix the brownie batter?
It depends on what you’re after. If you want your brownies cake-like, overmixing isn’t a big deal. But if you’re after fudgy brownies, you shouldn’t overmix as too much air will get into the batter.
How can I cut brownies while they are still warm?
Can’t wait to have a warm brownie? Cut them with a plastic knife. Works every time!
Tips
Like fudgy, chewy brownies? You’ll want to use a little more butter and a little more chocolate. Prefer the cakey version? You’ll need more leavening. Some recipes call for oil and others call for butter. You can use either, but butter is better when you’re looking for rise.
Always check your brownies early as oven temperatures vary and you don’t want them to be dry. You can always bake them a little longer.
Store leftover brownies in an airtight container, wrap with plastic wrap, or place in a freezer bag.
