About Caramel Brownies

Brownie is one of the most loved desserts in the world. Brownies were introduced in the United States in the 19th century. Looking back at the history and origin of brownie, it was created by accident when a baker forgot to add the baking powder to the chocolate cake recipe. Instead of rising, it stayed flat but it turned into super moist, gooey and chocolaty. They sliced, enjoyed and that mistake turned into brownie. Over time, the brownie recipe is modified with various flavours like caramel brownie, cheesecake brownie, nutella brownie, choco chip brownie, oreo brownie.

Ingredients

Unsalted butter : Use good quality unsalted butter. Make sure the butter should be at room temperature and soft before making brownie batter. You can also substitute with any neutral oils.

Sugar : I have used refined white sugar. When baked, it helps to turn the brownie into gooey and achieves a crinkle top. It can be substituted with other sweeteners like coconut sugar, brown sugar.

Vanilla essence : Use a high quality of essence as it acts as a flavour booster. Just add a dash of vanilla essence to enhance the flavour of brownie.

All purpose flour / Maida : All purpose flour / maida is one of the commonly used flour in baking. It provides the perfect brownie texture. But you can also use wheat flour or any millet flour of your choice.

Cocoa powder : Use good quality unsweetened cocoa powder for best taste and chocolatey flavour.

Instant coffee powder : A spoon of instant coffee powder helps to achieve a strong and deep chocolate flavour.

Eggs : Eggs add moist and richness to the brownie.

Almond or walnuts : Nuts like almond, walnuts, cashews add a crunch to the brownie. It is completely optional to add nuts.

Salted caramel sauce : This is the main star ingredient of the recipe. I have used my homemade salted caramel sauce. It gives a gooey, sweet flavour with a hint of salt. You can check the salted caramel sauce recipe on my blog.

Perfect Brownies Hacks

Pre preparation : Pre heat the oven to 170 degree celsius. Line the baking tray with parchment paper and grease it with oil or butter. Set it aside.

Room temperature : The eggs, butter should be kept at room temperature at least 30 minutes before baking.

Avoid overmix : Overmixing the brownie batter will lead to tough brownies. Mix the ingredients using a spatula instead of an electric beater.

Don't overbake : Overbaking the brownie batter will turn into a dense chocolate cake. Bake them with the mentioned timings.
