Bubbe's Famous Brownies

· Modified: by · This post may contain affiliate links · 15 Comments

Bubbe's Famous Brownies is a recipe from my friend Amy's blog, What Jew Wanna Eat. Here's an old photo of what they look like when decked out with melted chocolate and pecans. The recipe is scratch, easy, and makes a full 9x13 inch pan so you can feed a crowd.

Ah, here's an old picture of Amy before she was famous! While in culinary school, she had a side hustle doing demos at our grocery store, and Fuzz and I would always top and talk to her. She's one of the nicest people you'll ever meet and a truly great cook. But back to the brownies.

The original recipe for Bubbe's Famous Brownies calls for a frosting, but in my opinion they don't need it. With 2 cups of chocolate chips and a nice scattering of nuts on top, frosting is not something you will miss.

Bubbe's Famous Brownies Pan Size

The recipe makes a 9x13 inch pan (as mentioned), but you can easily cut it in half. For a half batch, use half the ingredients and bake in an 8-inch metal pan. The bake time probably will not change much, but check at 23 minutes.

Ingredients
 

  • 2 sticks unsalted butter (230 grams)
  • ¾ cup unsweetened baking cocoa (60-75 grams)
  • 2 cups sugar (400 grams)
  • 4 large eggs (195 grams)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla or 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla and ½ teaspoon almond
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (125 grams)
  • 2 cups semisweet or bittersweet chips or use a mixture of white chips
  • Optional: walnuts peanut butter chips, etc.

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  • Melt butter over medium or medium low heat. Remove from heat, then add the cocoa and stir until smooth. Add sugar and stir until well blended, then stir in the vanilla.
  • Add eggs one at a time, whisking or beating after each egg is added.
  • Stir in the salt until well mixed, then stir in the flour.
  • Make sure the batter isn't so hot that it will melt the chips, then add the chips.
  • Spread batter evenly in pan and sprinkle top generously with nuts.
  • Bake 25-30 minutes. Brownies will be done when a toothpick comes out almost clean.

Notes

To mix things up a bit, I use ½ teaspoon of almond extract and 1 ½ teaspoons of vanilla.

    Yes, they do make you vote for a person in each category. I added a note about that. Thanks for pointing that out! The nice thing is after you enter an email and hit submit, they give you the scores so you can see how well she's doing.
