Condensed Milk and Browned Butter Brownies
Rich and fudgy brownies made with brown butter, cocoa powder, and sweetened condensed milk. This sticky batter bakes into brownies with deep caramel notes from the browned butter and cocoa. The recipe offers flexibility for fudginess level and optional chocolate chips.

Instructions
- 1
Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a 9-inch (23 cm) square pan with a parchment sling.
- 2
Put the butter in a mid-sized pot and heat over medium until it melts and the water boils out.
- 3
Stir the butter as it starts to brown, keeping the milk solids from sticking to the bottom.
- 4
When the butter is just browning and smelling like caramel, whisk in the cocoa powder.
- 5
Let the cocoa boil for a minute then remove the pot from the heat.
- 6
Whisk in the sweetened condensed milk, then the powdered sugar until fully dissolved.
- 7
Whisk in the salt, vanilla, molasses, and egg yolk.
- 8
Whisk in the flour until combined.
- 9
If adding chocolate chips, let the batter cool slightly first to prevent them from instantly melting.
- 10
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, evening out the layer.
- 11
Bake for 30-40 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, or not-quite-clean if you prefer fudgy brownies.
