Pro tips for better box brownies: 1. replace each egg the recipe calls for with two egg yolks (1 egg=2 yolks) 2. Replace the water 1:1 with milk. 3. When you stir it, be careful not to overstir. The batter should not be smooth when you pour it in. Rather it should still be kind of clumpy. This adds variety to the brownies. 4. Use parchment paper to keep the brownies from sticking 5. Cook it at about 25 degrees lower than what it says for a longer time. Just keep an eye on it. You can do any one of these five steps on their own or do all five of them together. It should work with basically all box brownie mixes, and a lot of homemade recipes too.

Can you elaborate further? Brownies are one of my favorite desserts but I can never get a proper crust or fudgey interior. It always ends up like a flat cake or a crunchy cookie.

@@thewholeNyne the recipes I've seen (such as Adam Ragusea's) have generally said to use egg yolks for chewy, whole egg for cakey. the difference between fudgy and chewy lies in overall moisture content and can be achieved by using clarified/browned butter or some type of oil instead of plain butter (which contains water) basically, to turn a cakey recipe into a fugy/chewy recipe you swap out the whole eggs for an equal quantity of egg yolks. for fudgy vs chewy it will depend on the recipe itself (particularly water content).

So thank you for informing us how to get the results we want rather than how to only do the "standard"
cakey brownies are imo the worst of the three, chewy is where it's at. can't stand home cooks or chefs that insist there is only one "correct" way to do anything. sure, baking has more strict ratio rules but there's still ways you can tweak recipes to better suit your taste and anyone that tries to say any of those ways are wrong are just obnoxious
they said CAKEY is the only way?!?! thats insane. i get saying fudgy, bc its literally brownies, but cakey?? no way. i also prefer chewy, like way more than fudgy or cakey.
whereas I highly dislike fudgy textures, I find it hard that anyone says that cakey brownies are where it's at/the "correct" way. brownies were literally made to be fudgy or chewy....if you want a cakey texture then there's cake/cupcakes/muffins, or even cookies.
Google the brownie recipe from "Love and Lemons". That's the one I use. I leave out the chocolate chips though because they don't melt in entirely and I want to maximize chewiness. Edit: fixed typos

I believe what you are talking about is actually a fourth texture, let's call it gooey. I could be wrong but I believe the sugar content is what controls that attribute.
As always, your content is just next level. So trim, concise and to the point while providing visual examples and excellent explanations to everything you bake. This is premium content
Fudgy brownies are the best imo. Bc you can get a chewy and fudgy brownie out of them. When they’re hot they’re more fudgy and when they cool off they become more chewy. People who want cakey brownies don’t really like brownies lol
As someone who likes fudge, I have to to disagree. If I can’t feel the difference in eating a bar of fudge/chocolate and a brownie, then I consider it a fail. It doesn’t have to be cakey but I shouldn’t be eating chocolate sauce either. I could just eat fudge.
I don’t know how I did it, but I once created the best brownies I’ve ever had completely on accident. I had a box mix and I guess something went wrong with the ingredients or something. I went ahead anyway and baked it. It was the most amazing texture, like all three at once. I miss that tray of brownies, tried many times to recreate it but alas
see the issue with referring to tips like that as a way to make brownies "better" is that tastes vary. i for one hate the crackly tops brownies can get (possibly due to autism sensory issues/texture icks) and prefer my brownies to fall more solidly chewy than fudgy so i would not call that a better brownie. still, thanks for posting this cause now i know something i can avoid to minimize that crackly top!
@@Ari_C Thanks for letting me know, I'll try to explain what I mean by "better" next time If you don't want that crackly top just beat the eggs lightly until you mix the sugar properly (should take just a couple of minutes), it gets softer and chewier!
My grandma uses a box mix and says only ever use one egg, I think their great, and you gotta add the powdered sugar on top. My brother made brownies with more eggs one time and I hated them.
great video! can you maybe talk about baking using pumpkin puree? I tried making a pumpkin cake/bread and it didn't rise at all, it was a solid slab of pumpkin :( And usually i don't have problems with my baking so i don't know what went wrong
You need a good amount of leavening and liquid as pumpkin puree is very thick and not very waterlugging as it is quite concentrated. Also do make sure not to overmix your batter as well. And it's about the correct ratio of eggs, oil, puree, liquid, leavening, and flour. You need to essentially find that golden balance between ingredients.
Also, if you don’t bake often, check your leavening agents to make sure they’re fresh - baking powder, in particular, loses efficacy after a time & can become inert.
@@anthonyvenedicto518 thanks! the damn gluten development will be the death of me. I swear, when i need it to develop it never does. but when i make cake batter god forbid i let the mixer run a second longer
Very interesting. I just saw a post asking which is your preferred brownie? Fudgy or cakey or chewy and I’m on the chewy and fudgy side. Could you do a few recipe videos of your best, hits every time kind of recipes for classics like cake and brownies?
@khanwayne8281 just because cakey brownies are not for everyone doesn't mean they suck. We all have different preferences on textures and flavors of our food. I love a gooey and chewy brownie, but even if I had to eat a cake brownie, I'd still be happy because at the end of the day, it's still a brownie, just not my preference.
@@anthonyvenedicto518 No. Cakey brownies suck. Tastes do vary some enjoy good brownies and some enjoy crap. Just because Jeffery Dahmer enjoyed eating people doesn’t mean we should.
I like how most sweets/pastries try to be light, airy, and fluffy, whereas brownies just try to be as dense as possible

Hits different because they aren't meant to go together. At all. Lol. Milk. Coffee. Hot tea.
I love fudge and chewy brownies, so I can use 2 whole eggs and an egg yolk? ❤️
It depends on the quantities and ratios of the recipe. If the recipie calls for 3 eggs, do 2 whole and 2 yolks
I randomly came across this and have now decided to become a brownie connoisseur and master 👨🏾🍳

If you like Cakey Brownies you just like Cake.
I had chewy brownie yesterday ugh it was the best brownie I've ever had
i like to whip my egg yolks and fold to make my pastry thing more airy and fluffed. whenever i make cake items, i especially do it.
Very interesting. I just saw a post asking which is your preferred brownie? Fudgy or cakey or chewy and I’m on the chewy and fudgy side. Could you do a few recipe videos of your best, hits every time kind of recipes for classics like cake and brownies?
i absolutely agree if i aint chewy and fudgey it ain't a brownie, a cakey brownie is just a chocolate cake
@@resolecca well said
As long as we agree cakey brownies are failures we can be friends.
Enjoy your chocolate playdough.😂

Anyone hoping he makes a website sharing his recipes. 🙋🏾♀️
You must be a mind reader or something because I literally just made homemade brownies last night😂
All 3 of them are superior brownies to me
The difference between delicious and disgusting brownies.

@@anthonyvenedicto518 cakey brownies are gross. Fudgy and chewy are the only way to brownie.
@khanwayne8281 just because cakey brownies are not for everyone doesn't mean they suck. We all have different preferences on textures and flavors of our food. I love a gooey and chewy brownie, but even if I had to eat a cake brownie, I'd still be happy because at the end of the day, it's still a brownie, just not my preference.
@@anthonyvenedicto518 No. Cakey brownies suck. Tastes do vary some enjoy good brownies and some enjoy crap. Just because Jeffery Dahmer enjoyed eating people doesn’t mean we should.

I actually baked brownies for my family yesterday for Valentine’s Day
