Rich, dense, and delightfully gooey, these brownies are the essence of comfort baking. The glossy chocolate batter bakes into a chewy edge and soft centre. Perfect as is, or with a handful of nuts or chocolate chips stirred through for extra indulgence.

Searing the Beef

For extra fudgy brownies, bake closer to 28 minutes and let them finish setting as they cool.
Allow to cool completely before cutting for the cleanest slices.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days, or refrigerate for a denser texture.
Excellent served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of salted caramel sauce.

What says comfort and indulgence more than an ooey, gooey brownie? This version is rich and chocolatey, with a soft centre and crisp edges. Add chopped nuts or chocolate chips for a little texture and extra decadence. This is the kind of treat that never goes out of season.

I’ll preface this by saying I’m not a chef — just someone who loves to cook and needed a place to gather and share the recipes that have shaped my kitchen.

 

From the classics that are always on rotation to the discoveries I’ve stumbled upon along the way, you’ll find them here. Each recipe is shared in its original form, with Anthology’s Notes added at the end to reflect the tweaks and touches that suit our table.

 

Over the years I’ve tried to make many recipes my own, so you’ll also see those variations woven in.

 

Basically: cook, taste, adjust, and repeat.
