I know some people wouldn’t dare try to make their own brownies at home. I mean I get it, brownie mixes are fool proof. And you get brownies whipped up in like 2 minutes.
 
But what if I told you that homemade brownies that were WAY better than boxed mix in not a unicorn. It’s totally achievable. Oh and these also take all of 2 minutes to throw together.
 
With salted caramel sauce swirled on top and a sprinkle of sea salt, you will wonder why  you ever bought brownie mix in the past.

What Makes Brownies Fudgy?

These brownies are ALL fudgy friend. The reason that certain brownies are fudgy than others are fudgy brownies have a higher fat to flour ratio.

So since this has ZERO flour you can imagine that we got some serious fudginess going on.

How To Make These Salted Caramel Brownies – Step By Step

Pour the batter into your prepared pan, then top with caramel sauce. Use a butter knife to swirl the caramel sauce around. And finish it off with a sprinkle of sea salt! Voila! Throw it in the oven, and bake for 25 minutes!

Tips On Making These Salted Caramel Brownies

  • Bring your eggs to room temperature quickly by placing them in a bowl of warm water for 10 minutes before you begin baking.
  • These brownies are best if you use quality cocoa. With a 1 1/2 cups of cocoa powder, its worth investing in a quality brand.
  • You can make your own homemade caramel sauce or use store bought to save yourself a few minutes.
  • Be sure to not over bake these. The brownies will appear not done when the timer goes off, but don’t worry they will set up when they will cool.

Author: Heather Perine

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated white sugar
  • 1 cup (207 g) packed light brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup (180 ml) vegetable oil
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups (126 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 teaspoons instant espresso powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon fleur de sel or another kind of sea salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking pan or line with parchment paper. 
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the sugars and oil and beat until well combined. 
  • Add in the eggs and whisk together. 
  • Add the vanilla extract and stir to combine.
  • Stir in the cocoa, espresso powder and salt and blend until smooth. Pour into prepared pan.
  • Pour caramel sauce over the top of the brownie batter and swirl with a knife.
  • Bake about 25-30 minutes until top is set (will be still slightly jiggly) but will set up after baking. 

Notes

  • Bring your eggs to room temperature quickly by placing them in a bowl of warm water for 10 minutes before you begin baking.
  • These brownies are best if you use quality cocoa. With a 1 1/2 cups of cocoa powder, its worth investing in a quality brand.
  • You can make your own homemade caramel sauce or use store bought to save yourself a few minutes.
  • Be sure to not over bake these. The brownies will appear not done when the timer goes off, but don’t worry they will set up when they will cool.
  • I suggest lining your pan with parchment paper if you can, because these brownies will be a bit harder to remove if using just cooking spray.

    Hi there! I just wanted to make you aware the directions are different on the printed version of the recipe than what is stated in the paragraphs and photos prior to the actual recipe. I often use online recipes and use the printed version to work off of. I am going to try them again tomorrow, they looked amazing the first time I pulled them out of the oven

    My goodness these are delicious! So ooey, gooey and perfect! Made them with your caramel sauce and they are so good! Every one of your recipes I make, everyone asks for the recipe, this one was no exception! Another keeper recipe from Boston Girl Bakes! Thanks Heather! One thing I did that I would suggest is to use the caramel cold so it clumps together a bit and really makes gorgeous and yummy swirls!

    These were amazing. I changed the recipe slightly just because I didn’t have all the ingredients. I didn’t use espresso powder, I don’t think I needed it the brownies where over the top chocolate, I only put 3/4 a cup of dark chocolate powder and I even though I put in the caramel sauce the chocolate totally takes over and I couldn’t taste it at all. It was super moist and a chocolate lovers dream. Not to mention all the gluten-free people in the world will be over the moon with this fantastic recipe.

      Thanks Nicole! You absolutely could. The espresso just helps to bring out the chocolate flavor. But yes you can omit if you’d like!
