Adding Honey in Brownie Batter for Rich, Fudgy Treats
These fudgy, rich brownies are naturally sweetened with honey for a delicious twist on a classic treat. Perfectly moist, easy to make, and oh-so-satisfying—your new go-to dessert!
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter melted
- 1/2 cup honey preferably raw or clover honey
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips optional, for extra fudginess
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, honey, and granulated sugar. Stir until smooth. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the salt, cocoa powder, and flour. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Optional Additions: Gently fold in the chocolate chips if using.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool: Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For healthier options, replace half the butter with unsweetened applesauce.
- Swap gluten-free flour for the all-purpose flour for a GF version.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature or up to a week in the fridge.
