In reply to Hilary Sutton. Hi Hilary, when I specify cane sugar in a recipe, you can rest assured it is needed. I use unrefined sugar when I can, but for brownies you only get the very best outcome with cane sugar.

Hi Kate! Have you tried this recipe with honey or maple syrup instead of the cane sugar?
Thanks,
Hilary

Okay Kate……. I have a real PROBLEM with these brownies! ………..They are just to darn GOOD!!!! First ones made 12/20/24. Oh my ! Took some to my brother (LOVED them) a bachelor that doesn’t make sweets. Hubby Loved them. Me: I dream about these. So the PROBLEM arises because I have made 4 batches of these brownies in 17 days! The only reason I am not making another one today is because I am out of cocoa and had to order from Amazon which won’t come till tomorrow. We are in a small town in CO with limited grocery.

Oh and by the way the chocolate chip cookies are also on the PROBLEM list however, those are managed by keeping them frozen raw in the freezer and only baking a few at a time.

I appreciate all your detail that you give so I can reproduce your wonderful recipes.
Appreciate you. So grateful I found your cookbook and your blog.

Cheers to a New Year of cooking with Cookie & Kate!

I’ve had 100% success with the many K&C recipes that I’ve tried. Given the precise nature of the brownie recipe, do you think I could swap plant based unsalted butter for real butter? I’m going to get some cane sugar for this and perhaps other recipes as well. I really appreciate your healthy substitutes and vegan options for ingredients. Thanks, Kate.

These brownies were awesome! My family loved them. The browned butter added a wonderful depth of flavor. Thank you for this wonderful recipe!

Your base recipe of dry ingredients saved me 3 1/3 cups of canola, olive, and flax seed oil that my 9 year old accidentally used when she was making two packs of boxed brownie mix! I was able to turn them into three 9X13 pans of pumpkin (chunked, frozen, and then thawed, drained, and puréed) cheesecake brownie. I tripled your recipe for dry ingredients. They are delicious, and I can’t wait to get the crackly top when I get to make the original version with browned butter instead of the oil-saving version!

Made precisely as directed. Came out perfect.

My partner is not big on sweets but he really likes brownies. I made these for him about 6 months ago, and he absolutely devoured them over a four day period. Highly unusual for him. As he cared for them so much, our 5 year anniversary is coming up, and I decided to make these again for him as a special treat. This recipe is exclusively for him, and I am making a different recipe for everyone else. Thanks for sharing it. I also truly enjoyed them, from the softer center to the flaky top. Delicious!
