Ingredients for Incredible Caramel Brownies:
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- Sea salt flakes, for garnish (optional)
How to Make Incredible Caramel Brownies:
- Prepare the Brownie Batter:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal later.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter in the microwave. Stir in the granulated sugar until well combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Combine Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
- Mix the Batter:
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Layering the Batter:
- Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
- Drizzle about 3/4 cup of caramel sauce over the batter, spreading it out evenly with a spoon or spatula.
- Create the Swirl:
- Spoon the remaining brownie batter over the caramel layer in dollops. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the caramel and brownie batter together, creating a marbled effect.
- Bake and Cool:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs. Do not overbake.
- Remove from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
- Serve:
- Once cooled, lift the brownies out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into squares and garnish with sea salt flakes if desired.
- Serve these incredible caramel brownies and enjoy the rich, fudgy texture with gooey caramel in every bite!
