As a person who just tried this exact recipe while watching the video it is very well explained and the brownies turned incredibly delicious and perfectly chewy thank you so much for this wonderful and inspiring video!❤️🫶🏻
We use Guittard Cocoa Rouge Dutch process cocoa at our bakery and it’s fantastic! That cocoa alone adds a nice fudge flavor to our double chocolate cookies and the color is outrageous! I will definitely have to try the whisk in the sifter trick, should cut down on the mess of shaking the sifter. While we don’t offer brownies on our menu, I will definitely have to give this a try.
diabolical posting this hours after new years.. tempting peoples new years resolution to get in shape and or lose weight. diabolitcal and im here for it. delicious!
been stressing myself out coz my brownies doesn't come out shiny on top, and here I am getting scolded not to stress out about it because so far my customers feedback are all positive in terms of taste lol. Thanks chef!
My New Year's resolution: Make Frank's fudgy brownies 😀!! Absolutely mouthwatering! Happy New Year Frank 🥳🕊and I can't thank you enough and again for all of your wonderfully brilliant and detailed culinary recipe videos 💗 that you share with us, keep them coming 👍
Can you please also put the measurements in grams? Its too easy to get large variations with things like flour when using volume instead of weight. It can really ruin a recipe.
In general 1 cup of all purpose flour is about 130-140 grams and 1 cup of sugar is about 200 grams while 1 cup of brown sugar is about 210 grams. You can scale up and down as desired.
Hello there chef! Two words - SINFULLY SCRUMPTIOUS! Thank you so very much for sharing. All this time the other brownies I’ve made was just lacking something something and you summed it up - “cake-y”. Well, all those recipes are now in rubbish bin😂. Again, thank you! Philip
I used to make brownies (and other things lol) at a cafe with a well known UK conservation charity and this recipe was exactly the same, other than you added the coffee and the brown sugar. We also used self raising flour (which is all purpose flour with the baking powder already in the flour) and we did use chocolate chips but I prefer your version of chopped up high quality chocolate. So gets my seal of approval!
@yankeewog in the UK literally every bakery uses self raising flour, you'll find it in cakes, brownies, blondies, muffins, scones, banana bread, traybakes, American-style pancakes, cookies etc

Make them healthier by: Replacing Oil with applesauce Replace eggs with Egg Replacer Replace processed sugar with Sucanat Replace flour with Almond flour or Whole Wheat flour Replace cocoa with raw cacao powder
The Epicurious app is only on the apple store?? I have an android but can't find the app on the play store! I want a printable recipe for these brownies!!!
“And now we’re going to add 1 1/2 pounds of purple dank to our butter mix. Really want to get that noggin joggin after taking one bite if you know what i mean.”
I made this using almond flour and 1/2 the sugars. One 80% Ghirardelli chocolate bar cut and sprinkled at the top. Turned out so moist and delicious! No-guilt brownies❤ with healthy, low-lead chocolate; and gluten free. Next batch I’ll use monk fruit sugar.

You are amazing ❤
1/2 of salt, you missed a division
Frank is such a natural teacher. I love how he thoroughly explains every step he does, and is also really re-assuring, for beginners
its almost like he's a culinary instructor
This is the best recipe to post after the holiday season is over. Just by watching this video I doubled my end-of-year weight gain.
😂😂😂
Cool! That means you're ahead.
Frank is the best gift to start the New Year!
Chef Frank's natural charisma translates to effortless rapport with the viewer.
Tried this recipe impulsively last sunday and I can confirm that they're THE BEST I'VE EVER HAD.
I see frank, I click

When do we get a Frank Proto cookbook!? I'd buy it in a heartbeat
Definitely will try this recipe. It looks delicious … thanks for sharing
My absolute FAVORITE dessert. Thank you for this! I don't know how many times the boxed stuff has let me down...
Why do you guys make it so hard to find the recipe? Just post the link to the recipe under the description!
Then people won’t watch the video…
Even though I love listening to this guy, not putting the recipe anywhere is seriously annoying
Yes, quite annoying. Please folks, it’s 2025!
❤you need a hug love
Let's gooo!
Edit : I made this with less sugar. Very fudgy and tastyyy 😍😍
A mega cool recipe! I'm sure it tastes like a masterpiece!
Frank, you are rockin'! Can't wait to see what else you're gonna make this year!
love this guy! so easy to follow
Homemade brownies are health food ❤
I'm sold. Making brownies tomorrow.
This is so close to my own recipe! I feel vindicated!
Frank the tank back at it again.
I love brownies and I can’t wait to try this recipe!
Now I want to make these with cherry, with raspberry, and with hazelnut. And peanut butter. And...
They look delicious!
The HAND lol pls. Way to challenge my resolution day 1. Happy New Year
My New Year's resolution: Make Frank's fudgy brownies 😀!! Absolutely mouthwatering! Happy New Year Frank 🥳🕊and I can't thank you enough and again for all of your wonderfully brilliant and detailed culinary recipe videos 💗 that you share with us, keep them coming 👍
I see Frank, I click Like.
I would appreciate it a ton if the recipe or a link to the recipe was included in the video description.
I took a peek at the app, and was quickly disappointed. Better off copying preppy kitchens version, it’s very similar almost exact.
New Chef Proto video 👀😍
Ohhhh...talk chocolate toooo meeee!❤
Can you please also put the measurements in grams? Its too easy to get large variations with things like flour when using volume instead of weight. It can really ruin a recipe.
My brother in christ, skill issue.
You can do it yourself in 5 seconds
Volumetric is quite easy - you shud try it with volumetric ratios - i tried it myself and it was great! :)
In general 1 cup of all purpose flour is about 130-140 grams and 1 cup of sugar is about 200 grams while 1 cup of brown sugar is about 210 grams. You can scale up and down as desired.
I convert recipes to weight when I add them to my recipe book app, not hard to do.
I wanna make these❤
Thank You!! 😊
These look perfect! These are brownies! Cakey brownies aren’t brownies. They’re cake.
Delicious ❤

It feels like the one in The Incredibles 😍

I have no idea why I'm watching this. I'm far more interested in savoury snacks but I just can't click past a frank video.
Reducing the heat by 25 degrees F. alleviates the problem with glass pans retaining heat.
Clicks to watch
Mouth salivates and drools down cheek
Back aches as run to the fridge
Searching for eggs, butter, bitter chocolate…
Remembers, “hehh, I haven’t gone shopping this year”
Moans back into bed bookmarking the video for tomorrow’s food run
whenever I see daddy Frank I'm happy.
Could you mix the chopped chocolate in with the batter? Thank you!
Amazing
Nice recipe! Though wonder if there is any necessity to grease under the parchment-paper with butter...
yummy 😍
They look amazing, but when do you add the "stuff"?
Frank❤
Don't deny me my warm brownies.
Ah yes, my favorite chef, Prank Froto
Thank you for the inspiring tutorial. Can I also use gluten-free flour and, if yes, which one?
Doing epicurious vid is Chef frank's excuse to eat more sugar than his daily limit 😂 lol
The brownies i make are almost identical except I add browned butter except for just melted butter
I like brownies real brown so used half dark cocoa powder & half black cocoa powder.
Make them healthier by:
Replacing Oil with applesauce
Replace eggs with Egg Replacer
Replace processed sugar with Sucanat
Replace flour with Almond flour or Whole Wheat flour
Replace cocoa with raw cacao powder
If you don’t like to cook with vegetable oil, what oil do you recommend?
I like to add walnuts but will it affect the final result?
can i reduce the sugar ?
I might be high...but those brownies just floated out of nowhere...
Makinf me hungry
The Epicurious app is only on the apple store?? I have an android but can't find the app on the play store! I want a printable recipe for these brownies!!!
I typed it out, a few comments up (I hate having to add "apps" to my phone)
@botch3936 Thank you! You're amazing!! 😊
Yeah the recipe on the app is completely different smh
This isn’t the same recipe on the app so you’re really not missing out. The app is worthless
@supremecommander219 Thanks! I feel better! 😁
What coffee powder do you use
Where can I get that metal pan, please?!
Willams Sonoma
@cindyn7512 thank you!
Gotta be honest, I like that crispy top, adds a slight crunch-but these do look fudgy!
Everybody likes Frank
Not me
I luv him
“And now we’re going to add 1 1/2 pounds of purple dank to our butter mix. Really want to get that noggin joggin after taking one bite if you know what i mean.”
Where did you get the pan?
Thank you so much, Frank! Happy New Year!
Süperr👍❤️
5:51 - I'm starting a fan club of this edit
What am I missing?
@@CMZZZZ Well, I'm no expert but to me NOW and the rest of the sentence sounds stitchted together.
@@KG01101 oh, I was listening on a pretty low volume so I didn't even notice
@@KG01101 lol yeah it is jarring
Can we get a Penne Vodka recipe with Frank?
Instead of " Vegetable oil " use coconut oil to give it a nuttier more buttery enriching flavor/taste.
Those leftover Bendicks single bars, throw those in there, your gonna want three for every egg
can we make this with just oil and not butter? if yes then how much oil
Hi could I use davidoff coffee instead of instant coffee
Yes. Don't use Folgers or Maxwell House, though!!!!
I wish Americans could just follow the metric system pls 😭
These look great though
I never know what kind of neutral oil to use.
❤❤❤❤❤
I made this using almond flour and 1/2 the sugars. One 80% Ghirardelli chocolate bar cut and sprinkled at the top. Turned out so moist and delicious! No-guilt brownies❤ with healthy, low-lead chocolate; and gluten free. Next batch I’ll use monk fruit sugar.
Followed the recipe but my brownies came out too liquidy, do you have any tips on what might went wrong?
What do the chocolate bars weigh?
Can you do it without eggs.
Some of the best brownies I ever had were made with applesauce replacing the eggs. It was a vegetarian recipe.
What chocolate did you use?
It's Ghiradelli.

Why add the salt if you are going to leave it all in the sifter?
i love you frank but why do you hate metric:(
cant i just just glass and then place it in some cold water when taking it out of the oven
Bacon grease make the best brownies or fudge.
I bet Frank was originally going to make his own chocolate but had a bad cacao bean harvest.
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
6 chocolate bars!! Jeez that's a $20 pan of brownies. They better be orgasmic for that price. Even Gordon Ramsey's brownies served in Michelin starred restaurants costs less per pan.
❤️🗝️❤️
I still don't understand why people don't use a large pizza cutter for cutting brownies.
a lot of great tips!! i always love chef frank 101s 🩷
😍😍🥰🥰😍😍😍🥰🎉🎉🎉🎉
Hi Epicurious/Frank can we get metric and US measurements a for 2025? Please and thankyou
