Totally get it! If you love a smooth brownie, you can definitely skip the chocolate chips. The recipe will still turn out rich and fudgy thanks to the butter, cocoa powder, and oil—it just won’t have the extra melty pockets of chocolate. Still delicious!

These brownies are the best that I have ever made! The texture is amazing and the taste is impressive. I definitely recommend it!

In reply to Julie. Hi Julie! You definitely can make these without chocolate chips, but the taste, appearance, and texture will be slightly different. Tessa explains above the recipe here. You could also give our Ultimate Fudgy Brownies a try—the chocolate is melted, so the resulting brownie is smooth but ultra chocolaty :) Hope that helps!

Would this work with no choc chips? Don’t have me for this but I love a smooth brownie with no choc chips!
thanks!

These brownies were fantastic!! I added walnuts and swapped out 2 tablespoons of the butter with coconut oil. They were so sweet and chewy and good! The chewy crunchy corners are my favorite!

I’ve made these brownies several times now as written, and this is hands-down my new go-to recipe. I love that it can be done in one bowl. Thank you for sharing! My only occasional additions are 1/2 tsp espresso powder and a little fleur de sel on top, but they’re delicious as is.

I’ve made these brownies several times and they consistently turn out AMAZING! I’ve done plain chocolate, with nuts, and with chocolate chips as the recipe suggests and every time they’re a huge hit. However, I always have to bake them like 15 minutes longer than the recipe calls for, and at a higher temp. I’m in Calgary, and we are at a higher elevation (3,400 ft), so I’m wondering if that’s the reason? Either way, these brownies are a winner and I’ll definitely keep them in my dessert rotation!

In reply to Diane. Hi Diane! We prefer using neutral-flavored oils (like vegetable, canola, or avocado) for best taste and texture, but you're welcome to give coconut oil a try. Let us know how it goes.

Just made these and they are super gooey and chocolatey but way too sweet I used 1 cup sugar plus 1/4 cup next time I’ll use less sugar

Hi! Can I use coconut oil instead of vegetable oil? Thanks!
