We love this chocolate, fudgy Starbucks Brownies. They are rich in flavor and easy to make with simple ingredients. This copycat brownie recipe is so delicious.
Copycat Starbucks Brownies Recipe:
We like to go to Starbucks for their yummy coffee and their desserts. My kids always want to get their Chocolate Brownies but with my large family that gets expensive. So I decided to make them at home.
I love to come up with copycat recipes for our favorite restaurant recipes and I am glad I decided to make this copycat brownie recipe. The ingredients are simple and everything combines in one bowl making this an easy recipe to make.
There is no need to make a box brownie mix, when you can make brownies from scratch with this copycat recipe. These brownies are rich, fudgy, full of chocolate and taste amazing, just like our Slutty Brownies.
Ingredients:
- Unsalted Butter, melted & cooled to room temperature
- Granulated Sugar
- Large Eggs
- Vanilla Extract
- All Purpose Flour
- Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- Salt
- Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips, Divided
How to Make Starbucks Brownies:
- Prepare oven and baking dish – Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line an 8X8 baking dish with parchment paper.
- Mix wet ingredients together – In a large mixing bowl, stir together the melted butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla extract.
- Add in Cocoa Powder – Then add in the cocoa powder and stir until itโs fully combined. I like to whisk until combined.
- Mix in dry ingredients – Then stir in the flour and salt and stir until just combined. Be careful to not over mix.
- Add in Chocolate Chips – Then fold in 1 ½ cups of the chocolate chips.
- Pour Batter into baking dish – Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan. Gently tap the baking dish on the counter to level the batter in the pan.
- Top with Chocolate Chips – Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips evenly on top and gently press them down into the batter.
- Bake Brownies – Bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (make sure itโs not inserted into a chocolate chip).
- Cool, Serve and Enjoy – Cool the brownies on a wire rack for 2 hours before cutting them and serving them.
Can I Double this Recipe?
Yes, this recipe is perfect to double the ingredients and make in a 9×13 baking pan. This fudge brownie is perfect for the holidays and your holiday dessert trays.
How to Store Copycat Starbucks Double Chocolate Brownies:
Store the leftover brownies in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
Tips for Starbucks Double Chocolate Brownies:
- Cocoa Powder – Make sure when adding the cocoa powder to the mixture that there is no lumps. You may need to sift in the cocoa powder to the egg mixture.
- Chocolate Chips – We used chocolate chips in this recipe, but you can also use chocolate chunks. We recommend staying with semi-sweet so the chewy brownies are not to sweet. You can also use dark chocolate chips.
- Oil – When we make this recipe, we stick with the unsalted butter ingredient. We do not recommend using vegetable oil or canola oil.
- Brownies to Cool – After the fudgy brownies are done baking, allow them to cool before serving.
- Brownie Batter – Do not overmix the batter and combine only until well mixed. It will be thick but this is normal.
