When it comes to brownies, it’s rare to find someone that can resist them. They’re soft, chewy, sometimes gooey, rich, decadent and easy to devour. Who doesn’t love a chocolatey square that makes life…well, delicious! Brownies, however, come in many different forms. From bean based (yes, seriously), to peanut butter infused, spicy or rich, there are endless ways to enjoy this classic dessert. If you’re a beginner baker, brownies are certainly a great place to start. Why exactly? Well, if you underbake them – they’re just extra gooey, if you overbake them – a little extra chewy and crisp. They are nearly foolproof. But don’t just reach for the store-bought box! There are so many amazing simple recipes that can make your brownie dreams come true!
There’s one other dessert in my mind that competes the most with the “ooey-gooey” delicious category of brownies, and that’s pecan pie.
Combining the two together is one of the most ingenious ideas, but also the most delicious. There’s no going wrong with a recipe like this.

THIS IS THE HOLY GRAIL OF DESSERTS! That was my exact thought when I came across this recipe. These are the epitome of gooey, topped with something too many breakup victims know too well – cookie dough.
With a recipe split into two layers, the baked brownie bottom and the unbaked cookie dough topper (safe to eat), this is a recipe that say “no thanks” to the icing, and just tops it with something that, you’d likely agree, is soooo much better.

These coffee infused brownies will remind you of a warm cup of mocha on a cold winter day. The flavors well known for being paired together are of course in perfect complementary fashion to this one recipe.
Not only is the coffee flavor infused throughout the brownie, but the frosting too has a cafe latte taste to it, making this one knock-it-out-of-the-park brownie.

This takes brownies away from the ooey-gooey and into a more handheld version that won’t cause chocolate covered fingers, a key thing to note especially if you have kids in the house.

One of the bigger things to happen in recent years has been the use of healthier ingredients hidden within common recipes. A great way to be health conscious, while you indulge.
Avocados are a natural healthy fat substitute that lends its creamy texture and mild taste to a brownie recipe that will be perfect for those who are looking to have a treat, but would prefer a healthier alternative. Or perhaps, you’re a mom who’s looking to serve up the healthy stuff without turned up noses from little ones. Whatever way you serve it up, this one is a true hit.

There’s something magical that happens every year just a month or so after the Christmas holidays, far too early for Easter, but no less welcomed…and that’s the revival of the Cadbury Creme Egg.
These seasonal treats are the best chocolate treat when seeking that ooey-gooey goal, so switching over to brownie baking, adding these into the mix makes perfect sense. And no, it doesn’t have to be Easter to justify eating them.

There’s no way we could curate a list of the best brownie recipe and not have one be a peanut butter & chocolate fusion variety.
When it comes to food pairings, it truly doesn’t get much better than this. With a layer of brownie, a layer of creamy sweet peanut butter and then topped with a chocolate coating? Dear goodness, pass the fork.
