Fudgy Brownies

I don’t know about you, but I feel like I need a lot of comfort food and soul food. Hence I felt like making brownies. I feel brownies taste great any time of the year. The best thing is, they are rather easy to make and don’t take too long. The below recipe is made with melted chocolate and cocoa powder. This makes them extra fudy. I usually reduce the amount of sugar in the recipe as I feel that the sugar can easily overpower the chocolate flavor. Below version contains chopped walnuts and coarse sea salt, but you can omit these two ingredients.

I feel my blog was in dire need of another brownie recipe. My first brownie recipe was published in 2017 (!), so this is eight years ago. The brownies with caramel are relatively popular, however, I wanted to publish a more regular recipe again. Reason for this being that I ate some super delicious brownies when we were on vacation in Scotland. We visited the café Cuil on the Isle of Skye and were very happy with their food (I was not paid to say this). Once I saw that the cafe published the recipe on Instagram, I knew I wanted to make my version of it. I decided to try half a recipe first and use walnuts instead of chocolate chips. I simply felt like nuts, but you are free to omit them.
