Brownies Ingredients

Plain Flour - I used refined flour also known as all purpose flour or maida for making the brownies. This gives the perfect texture in the brownies. But you can use wheat flour or half wheat flour and half portion of plain flour as well.

Cocoa - This is a cocoa based brownies. So use the best quality cocoa powder that you can find.

Sugar - a combination of brown sugar and white sugar is used in the brownies to create fudgy texture.

Vanilla - pure vanilla extract is preferred for the flavour.

Chocolate Bar - Chopped chocolate is scattered all over the brownies. I like to use good quality milk chocolate. When you bite into a piece of brownie, this chocolate adds rich taste.

Eggs - eggs are main ingredient in this brownie and it cannot be made without eggs. But you can check my eggless brownies for egg free option.

Instant Coffee - coffee when combined with chocolate gives an intense chocolate flavour. You won't taste the coffee in the brownies. Instead it makes the brownies so chocolaty.

Butter - good quality butter is melted and used in this brownies. I strongly recommend you to use butter and not oil.

Salt - salt balance the taste of the sugar and chocolate.
