Mashed Potato Chocolate Brownies Recipe
These Mashed Potato Chocolate Brownies are incredibly fudgy, moist, and rich thanks to a secret ingredient—mashed potatoes! They add a soft texture without altering the classic chocolate flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 cup mashed potatoes (plain, unsalted, and smooth)
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon instant coffee powder (optional, enhances chocolate flavor)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract and mashed potatoes.
- Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, instant coffee, baking powder, salt, and flour.
- Combine & Fold in Chocolate Chips: Slowly add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
- Bake the Brownies: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool & Serve: Let the brownies cool completely before slicing. Drizzle with melted chocolate for extra indulgence!
Notes
- Ensure mashed potatoes are completely smooth and free of any seasoning.
- For extra fudginess, slightly underbake and let brownies firm up as they cool.
