Ingredients You Will Need

Makes: 12 brownies Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: 25–35 minutes Total Time: 45 minutes Difficulty: Easy

  • 8 tbsp Rumiano Organic Unsalted Butter: Our single-ingredient butter adds a rich, clean flavor that alternatives simply can't match.
  • 1/4 cup granulated sweetener (we used monk fruit): A lower-glycemic alternative to white sugar that still caramelizes beautifully and provides the classic sweetness you want in a brownie.
  • 1/4 cup almond milk: Adds moisture and helps achieve that soft, fudgy texture in the center.
  • 1/4 cup avocado or olive oil: Keeps the brownies moist and adds a subtle richness that complements the butter.
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder: The foundation of the brownie's deep chocolate flavor. Use a good quality cocoa for best results.
  • 1/2 cup wheat flour: Provides just enough structure to hold everything together while keeping the texture tender, not cakey.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract: A small but mighty addition that rounds out and enhances all of the chocolate notes.
  • 2 eggs: Act as the binder for the batter, contributing to the chewy, fudgy texture.


How to Make Classic Fudgy Brownies

Step 1: Melt the Butter

Start by melting your Rumiano Organic Unsalted Butter. You can do this in a small saucepan over low heat or in the microwave in 15-second intervals. Once melted, pour it into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add your granulated sweetener and mix until the two are fully combined and slightly glossy.

Step 2: Add the Wet Ingredients

Crack in both eggs, then add the almond milk, oil, and vanilla extract. Stir everything together until the batter is smooth and uniform. Take your time here! A well-combined wet base means a better final texture.

Step 3: Fold in the Dry Ingredients

Add the cocoa powder and wheat flour directly to the bowl. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be thick and glossy. A few streaks are fine—they'll work themselves out as the batter settles.

Step 4: Prepare Your Pan

Line a baking dish with parchment paper, letting the edges hang over the sides. This will make it easy to lift the brownies out cleanly after baking. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and use a spatula to spread it into an even layer.

Step 5: Bake

Place the pan into an oven preheated to 350°F. Bake for 25 to 35 minutes. Start checking at the 25-minute mark; a toothpick inserted into the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs, not wet batter. Keep in mind that a slightly underdone center will continue to set as it cools, giving you that perfectly fudgy interior.

Step 6: Cool and Slice

Remove the pan from the oven and allow the brownies to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing so the brownies don't fall apart. Once cooled, use the parchment paper to lift the whole slab out of the pan and slice into 12 even pieces on a cutting board.


 

Tips to Make the Best Brownies Every Time

Want to make sure your batch comes out perfect? Keep these tips in mind before you get started:

  • Don't Overbake: The most common brownie mistake is leaving them in the oven too long. Pull them out when the center still looks just slightly underdone—they'll continue cooking on the warm pan as they cool.
  • Room Temperature Eggs: Cold eggs can cause the melted butter to seize up and clump. Let your eggs sit at room temperature for a few minutes before using them for a smoother batter.
  • Customize Your Toppings: These brownies are a blank canvas. Try folding in a handful of chocolate chips or chopped walnuts before baking, or dust the cooled top with a light sprinkle of flaky sea salt for a sweet-and-salty finish.
  • Store Properly: Keep leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week. They also freeze beautifully; you can wrap individual pieces and store for up to 2 months.
