Need something ooey, gooey and melt in your mouth chocolatey? This Ultimate Brownie Recipe that were my mother’s specialty will be the best recipe you have ever tried!
I love a good pan of brownies. As a matter of fact, I enjoy them so much, I rarely make them, otherwise I would eat them all by myself without sharing, maybe even growing and barking if someone went to close to the pan of chocolatey goodness.
Have you ever had a hankering for the ultimate brownie and had so many ideas to choose from, you couldn’t make up your mind?
Here’s the last recipe you will ever need. It is soft, moist and chewy, yet oh so good. Maybe too good. You might want to consider making them for your next gathering so you don’t eat the whole pan yourself.
Or go ahead and eat the whole pan, I won’t judge. Adding on coconut cream frosting will give you another delicious layer of chocolatey goodness. However, you CAN skip the frosting. Not sure why you would want to, but it’s your call.

Thanks for including my recipe! Can’t wait to check out the others. Yum.
Ummm yummm. I really shouldn’t be looking at brownies when I’m 19 weeks pregnant. Lol, now I’m going to have to make this, it looks so good.
Hmm… black bean brownies… I wonder if the kids would notice? I might have to try those 🙂
Jen, I make black bean brownies similar to these all the time and my kids LOVE them! They know there are black beans in there, but only because I told them. Try it.
These all looks so good especially, the mom’s ultimate brownies!
Yum, those look delicious! I will most definitely be testing these recipes out, thanks!!
Brownies are my favorite dessert. I am intrigued by the chickpea and zucchini brownies.

Ooh, I love brownies! Something that seems to result in the best is baking then in a cast iron pan.

I LOVE brownies! Can’t wait to try some of these new recipes!
I’ll be honest..I have an amazing brownie recipe and I haven’t strayed from it for at least 5 years now. But as someone who isn’t particularly fond of cake and doesn’t like to always take the time to make a pie, virtually any kind of brownie is a winner with me. Lol.
