We are always looking for good brownie recipes. So far our  favorite is Ina’s Outrageous Brownies, but these Milk Chocolate Brownies were perfect for a faster, but still delicious version. They were moist, chewy, chocolatey and had that flaky crust that I happen to love. They may not look awesome, but they sure taste it! If you need a quick and easy recipe for brownies I would definitely try this one!

How Do You Know If Brownies Are Done?

When the brownies start to pull away from the edge of the pan, they are done.

You can test for doneness by inserting a toothpick near the center of the pan.

If the toothpick comes out clean, your brownies will be cake-like.

For fudgy brownies, remove from oven when the toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs clinging to it.

How Long Will Brownies Keep?

Cut brownies, wrapped well in plastic wrap will keep for 2 days at room temperature.

A pan of uncut brownies, wrapped well will keep for up to 4 days at room temperature.

Can Brownies Be Frozen?

Brownies can be frozen for up to 3 months.

Wrap in plastic wrap and foil or place in heavy duty freezer bag before freezing.

    Just terrible; I’ve been baking for years and decided to ditch my other recipe so I decided to try this and let me just say that I followed this recipe exactly and the brownies didn’t even bake at all but around the crust the middle sunk in and I think it may be because there is not enough flower or something but don’t waste your time trying this.

    1. Sweet Basil says:

      I’m so sorry for the disappointment. We haven’t ever had that issue, but I haven’t made this recipe in a while. I’ll double check all the measurements.

    2. Jen says:

      I made these too and they rose too much and are completely uncooked…something is definitely off here…I followed it exactly…

      1. Sweet Basil says:

        I’m so sorry for the disappointment Jen! I’m not sure what is going on with this recipe, but I’ve put it on my list of recipes to rework.

  2. Megan says:

    have you ever tried this recipe using semi sweet instead of milk chocolate?

  3. Ifa Poulin says:

    How much butter do you have to use?

    1. Sweet Basil says:

      ooops! There seems to have been an error, 1/3 cup

      1. Ifa Poulin says:

        Thank you 🙂

  4. Sarah says:

    Ina's a genius. I have loved evrything I made from her. I will have to try these as well.

    These look good. I love outrageous brownies too. This is funny. The ad displayed RIGHT NEXT to this recipe was “Tips for a flat belly”.
