Chocolate fudge brownies
They’re not cake-y nor bread-y. They’re fudge-y. You can have them plain but I like a little crunch in my brownies so I stirred in some sliced almonds. And, instead of melted chocolate for the topping, I opted for chocolate morsels. White chocolate morsels and chopped nuts would have looked better for the topping but I didn’t have white chocolate morsels and I totally forgot that I had some walnuts in the pantry. Next time. These brownies are so decadently good that they really deserve a “next time”. And a next, and another after that…
Ingredients
3 eggs
3/4 c. of all-purpose flour
1-1/2 c. of white sugar
3/4 c. of butter
3/4 c. of cocoa
1/4 c. of pancake syrup
3 tbsp. of corn oil
1/2 c. of sliced almonds
1/2 to 3/4 c. of chocolate morsels
Bake the chocolate fudge brownies
Preheat the oven to 350oF. Grease a 9″x6″ cake pan.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs until light in color. Add the flour and sugar and mix until blended.
Over low heat, melt the butter then stir in the cocoa, pancake syrup and corn oil. Cool for a few minutes. Stir into the flour mixture until well blended. Fold in the sliced almonds. Pour into the greased pan, top with chocolate morsels and bake for 25 to 30 minutes or just until a toothpick inserted at the center comes out clean. DO NOT OVERBAKE.
Cool before cutting. For best results, cool to room temperature then chill in the fridge for a couple of hours before slicing. That was my mistake. I was too excited to try them that as soon as they were cool enough to handle, I started cutting them.
See the crumbling where the knife sliced through? If you’re patient and wait until the thing has chilled, the brownies will have smooth rather than frayed edges. And the texture is much better too after chilling because you get to experience the fudgy-ness in all its decadent glory.

ms. connie, what brand of cocoa did you use? is it okay to use the hershey’s cocoa powder? thanks.
Hi! Based on the instructions, should the ingredient “pancake mix” above be changed to pancake syrup? And what brand do you use?
Yes, Nikki, I inserted a link in the list.
Nikita, yes, it is syrup. It was a typo and I edited it already.
Brand… brand… I think we have Clara Ole right now but we keep changing brands hehehe
hello ma’am connie!
bensdorp cocoa is good too…
Syl, haven’t seen that around. Mostly, it’s Ricoa and Hershey’s and that terrible brand endorsed by Heny Sison. Forgot the name… Will watch out for bensdorp though, thanks.
Wow!!! This is definitely one of your recipes that I am going to try…. just by looking at the photos, I could sense na super sarap and fudgy ang brownies mo, Ms. Connie!!! Another suggestion when you make it next time— you can use the Betty Crocker frostings that are found in supermarkets (also Duncan Hines) and then drop some white chocolate morsels. They will look so pretty too! Thanks again!
O, I haven’t come across those frostings too. Ano ba yan, I should spend more time in the baking section of the supermarket. LOL
I just tried this recipe after i read your entry this morning, but i used light corn syrup instead of pancake syrup and walnuts instead of almonds…really good! thanks a lot!!! I finished baking at around 12 noon, allowed it to cool at room temperature for 2 hrs, then i chilled it for 2 hrs as you indicated…..i intended to pack it as my kids’ snacks for tomorrow, but the baking pan is almost empty now…
Thanks again and God Bless you more!
LOL Jennie. Maybe bake twice as much next time?
Bensdorp cocoa are usually sold repackaged in plastic packs nowadays… Bensdorp is produced by the company which makes Van Houten chocolates. But it’s cheaper than Hershey’s cocoa. Yes, duncan hines frosting is yummy on brownies!
thanks for the recipe, my sis likes to bake brownies, but often she’ll just by the ready-made, and almost all the time they’re over baked, hehehe, maybe she’ll get lucky on this one, thanks!
hi! thanks for the recipe. this would be my first brownie and it turned out quite good considering that i did not have an oven and used TURBO BROILER, whoa!
the brownie turned out good, crusty on top but fudge-y inside… i just need to adjust the cocoa (i used ricoa) and sugar next time (to sweet for me). thanks again!
OMG, I tried this recipe, but didn’t have any almonds/walnuts/nuts at home. I did have snickers chocolate bars from the kids’ trick or treat. Label says it has peanuts, caramel and nougat so I chopped them and used them as my “nuts”. I used 3 whole bars for this recipe. Utang na loob–super sarap!!!
I’m kinda new posting here so I don’t know if there’s a thread for requesting recipes so forgive me. Is there anyone here who has a recipe for the Cookie Monster chocolate cake? I remember them as a young kid where they were sold in Campos Rueda Building in Makati or SM Makati. I’ve since moved to the US, but still remember how yummy those cakes were!!
maria, whole chocolate bars sound great! haha what an idea!
Sorry, though, no recipe requests. I only post what I cook and that depends on my family’s preferences. It’s my quality control — I can only recommend what I’ve personally tested and tasted.
Ms Connie,
I have a very big problem
What kind of oven should you buy if you want to start baking.. i first thought Microwave oven then after thinking through it..it can’t be. What should I look for in an appliance center if I’ll buy one.. What brand do you suggest and what should be the specs (like a cellphone?) I know it is a private thing..but can u post a picture of what you are using? I actually wanna see all the utensils that you have.. would be nice if you have here somewhere in your site. I’m desperate..i wanna learn so I can make healthy goodies, pastries for my baby and husband. More power to you and thanking you in advance for your response, hopefully soon! Thanks!
Glendz, check the “Cooking tools & gadgets” section. The answers are all there.
This was well worth the chocolate induced migraine I got. Mmm…yummy! You should try the truffle brownie recipe from the Food Network’s Partyline show. It’s easy and insanely delicious!
I will be baking this today… hehehe… I made sure to have the ingredients yesterday. Will report to you, soon as I have the finished product! And judging from the feedback from the others who have tried the recipe, I may also be doing this recipe again and again. I am so excited!
I tried this recipe today . I cut down on sugar , syrup and cocoa but added marshmallows.. It turned out really good. My kids loved it..Will bake this for the school bakesale donation next week. Thanks Ate Connie
Masarap, really masarap, and really something new!!! Not only did we have it for our household but we shared it with the Lolo & Lola and the cousins…tama nga ang sinabi ni Maria at ng marami pang naka-try na! Utang na loob— super sarap! Talagang this is a “must-try” recipe.
LOL Remember the calories ha! Or is that something one forgets while eating the brownies?
Waah! What did I do wrong? Mine turned out packed and bready, huhuhu! Maybe our flour is pangit. Or is it the corn syrup? The helper suggested I should add baking powder! Waahh! Kainis. Tapos she refused pa to make tikim. Suplada.
I’ll do it again. Dapat alone na lang ako sa kitchen…
Arlene, adding baking powder will turn it rise and cake-y and the fudge-y texture will be lost. At tama, dapat ALONE ka sa kitchen. Pumapalpak pag maraming nakiki-alam.
hi, ms.connie! have been visiting your site for quite a while already. in fact, when my hubby looks for something new to eat, he visits your site and tells me what he wants for me to cook. yeah, your site has been like a list of menu in a resto! char! thanks for the help, anyway!
hmmm, ask ko lang about pancake syrup. can i use hersheys syrup (chocolate flavor). thanks again!
nyahahaha!
I got it! Perfect!
I had to use pine nuts kasi naubos ko na yung almonds sa first try. Thanks Ms. Connie. Grabe, ang sawap-sawap!
I like marshmallows. I think am gonna try the same and add marshmallows. Thanks to Michelle for the suggestion.
cel, I’m not so sure about the chocolate syrup. The brownies might turn too dark and too dense and too sweet. If you decide to try, let us know ha. Who knows, you might create something 10 times better.
Arlene, that’s great! And I’ll note that pine nuts work well for these brownies too. Thanks.
thanks for the quick response. ms. connie, ive seen pancake syrup maple-flavored. is that the one i should use?
thanks again. im all excited about this!
made this twice! an both are really good. 1st was naubos agad, hinakot ng friend ko pauwi. 2nd, dinala ko sa ofc yun iba at un half dinala ko sa friend ng mom ko. winner! marami ng ntuwa and best of all, i think i’ll make this as christmas present. personalized na and surely masarap pa! thanks for sharing your recipes connie. i’ve been visiting other recipe/food sites pero favorite kita, yours are simplier and madali hanpin ang mga ingredients.
hi ms. connie! just wanted to ask, where do u buy the chocolate morsels? and what brand of pancake syrup do u prefer? tnx!
Michelle, from the supermarket. Pancake syrup… we usually buy Karo although we try other brands once in a while.
hi miss connie?i just want to ask if i can substitute honey in lieu of pancake syrup. that’s what i have kase..tenx so much
Farrah, yes, I am confident that will work.
waah, ang tiyaga tiyaga ni ms. connie with all the questions. i totally love her.
Hindi rin parati, Karen. Depende sa mood. hehehe
hello…
just like to ask if i can use honey instead of pancake syrup?
thank you.
ingat… :p
Can’t guarantee that the result will be the same but you can always try.
hi connie. i intent to bake this for my niece’s 18th bday. do you think it will come out well if i freeze it for a week or two or does it have to be freshly baked when served? thanks.
I don’t know, Lorie. These brownies are rather moist inside and out and I’m not sure if freezing them won’t turn them watery.
Hi Connie,
i’ve tried to make this and it turned out “oohhh soooo yummy” super super very nice indeed!!!
and ing and everyone, i have used honey instead of pancake syrup, and hmmmm it was perfect!!! and used assorted toppings such as pecan, macadamia, mallows and even white choc chips…but i adjusted some of the ing but all was great…
im making this again and will sure use honey everytime…
Cheers!
Hi Ms. Connie!
Thank you for sharing your recipe, I’m just wondering if i can use other size of baking pan perhaps 8 x 8, since when i was looking for the 9 x 6 pan, its not available what they have is 9 x 3 and its a round pan.
Thanks in advance and God bless.
9×3 round pan? You mean 9 inches in diameter and 3 inches high? I’m pretty sure you can but you may have to adjust the baking time.
Thank you for your quick reply, since what i have now is the 8 x 8 baking pan, can i just use that since i don’t have the 9 x 6 cake pan?
Thanks again.
Yes, I suppose. Am not sure though if the baking time ought to be the same.
hi, instead of the corn oil, can I just add more butter? Or maybe use olive oil?
Well, I’ve never tried that formula so I don’t know. I do think though that olive oil will make the brownies taste awful.
May I ask why the corn oil though instead of increasing the butter? Just wondering so I understand and apply to other recipes in the future. Thanks!
Butter burns faster.
a ok. Thanks!
CAN I PUT PEANUTS INSTEAD OF ALMONDS? WE DON’T HAVE ALMONDS HERE IN THE PROVINCE.THANKS FOR THE NEW VERSION OF BROWNIES,ITS A SURE WINNER IN THE FAMILY!
Sure. Peanuts, cashew, pili… Something wrong with your caps lock?
Hi Ms. Connie,
Just want to ask where can i buy 9 x 6 cake pan that you use in your chocolate fudge brownies.
Thanks in advance.
Roma Agtarap
Supermarket, market and baking specialty shops like Gourdo’s and Cooks’ Exchange.
Hi Ms.Connie,
Sorry i’m so kulit, I just wanted to try your brownies. I already asked Gourdo’s and Cooks’ Exchange but the size of 9×6 is no longer available, you mentioned supermarket and market, can i know what supermarket and market?
Thanks so much in advance!
Roma
Meron sa Shopwise. You can use another size like an 8″x8″ pan. Some adjustments on the baking time might be in order though.
Hi Ms. Connie,
Bought a cake pan with the size of 9 x 5, anyway, if ever i will adjust the time, will i lessen the required time or add some more?
Thank you in advance again.
With that little difference, I think the same time is okay.
Hi Ms. Connie,
Tried the recipe already it was good and it came out so fudgy, na parang icing daw when i ask my officemates to try it, but they liked it. Is it because I used brown sugar instead of white? And I have another question can i make this recipe chewy? just like the brownies in KFC? if so how will i do it? or any recipe for chewy brownies?
Thanks so much for your help.
“And I have another question can i make this recipe chewy?”
You’ll need another recipe and procedure for that. I have one but am not happy with it. Still tweaking.
Hi Ate Connie,
I am newbie in baking and I am based here in Wellington New Zealand. It was great that I stumbled on to your website as it contains a lot of easy to cook meals that I can do on my own.
I apologize for this newbie question but is it possible to cook this brownie using the “fan forced” setting in my oven?
thanks in advance
Yes.
hi,i just want to ask whats a pancake syrup?
hi again,
is it corn oil as in cooking oil or corn syrup?
for the pancake syrup, any brand?
thanks.
