Cuisine: American
Course: Dessert

Difficulty Level: Easy
Yield: 12 brownies
Calories Per Serving: ~280

Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make these delicious brownies:

Dry Ingredients:

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Wet Ingredients:

1 cup unsalted butter (melted)

1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Chocolate & Add-ins:

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (for extra richness)
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Instructions

Preheat & Prepare – Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit , or 175 degrees Celcius. Coat an 8 x 8inch baking pan with shortening or parchment paper for easy release from the pan.

Mix Dry Ingredients – In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. This ensures even distribution and prevents clumping.
Combine Wet Ingredients – In a separate large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until smooth. Drop eggs in and vanilla extract, and mix well.
Incorporate Dry & Wet Ingredients – Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!

Add Chocolate Chips & Nuts – Fold in the chocolate chips and walnuts if using. This adds extra texture and a deep, chocolatey flavor.
Bake – Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Cool & Serve – Before slicing, allow the brownies to cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes. This helps them set properly and prevents crumbling.

Expert Tips & Troubleshooting

How To Get The Perfect Fudgy Texture

Use melted butter instead of softened butter to achieve a dense, fudgy consistency.
Don’t overmix the batter—this can create air pockets and make the brownies cakey instead of chewy.
Slightly underbake the brownies and let them cool completely before cutting for the ultimate gooey center.

Troubleshooting Common Brownie Problems

Dry Brownies? You may have overbaked them. Reduce the baking time slightly next time.
Too Gooey? Make sure they’ve cooled properly before cutting. If they’re still too soft, bake for an additional 3-5 minutes.
Brownies Stick to the Pan? To avoid sticking, lightly grease your baking dish or line it with parchment paper.

Serving Suggestions

Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
Drizzle with chocolate or caramel sauce for a restaurant-style presentation.
Sprinkle with sea salt for a sweet-salty flavor contrast.

Enjoy with a glass of cold milk or a hot cup of coffee.

How Do You Make Chick-Fil-A Brownies Taste Better?

Want to enhance the flavor even more? Here are a few ideas:

Use high-quality cocoa powder – This makes a big difference in the depth of flavor.
Add espresso powder – A teaspoon of espresso powder enhances the chocolate taste without making it taste like coffee.
Use browned butter – This gives the brownies a slightly nutty, caramelized flavor.

Top with chocolate ganache – Melted chocolate drizzled over the top makes them even richer.

Do Chick-Fil-A Brownies Have Melted Chocolate?

While Chick-Fil-A hasn’t revealed their exact recipe, their brownies have a super-rich, chocolatey taste. This suggests they use melted chocolate or chocolate chips in the batter, just like in this homemade version!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I Use A Different Type Of Chocolate?

Yes! If you prefer a darker chocolate taste, swap the semi-sweet chocolate chips for dark chocolate. If you like a sweeter brownie, use milk chocolate chips instead.

Can I Make These Brownies Gluten-Free?

Yes! Simply substitute the all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking flour for a gluten-free version.

How Do I Store Leftover Brownies?

Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days, or refrigerate for up to a week. For longer storage, wrap them tightly and freeze for up to 3 months.

Can I Double This Recipe?
