As someone who knows me will attest, I readily admit to having an addiction to Starbucks. And it’s not solely because they boast the most divine caramel sauce imaginable, although that plays a big role.

On rare occasions, I will treat myself to one of their bakery items or breakfast sandwiches, including chocolate chip cookies, vanilla bean scones, or Double Chocolate Brownies.

I have shared almost all of my favorite copycat recipes from the Starbucks menu, except for the caramel sauce. These Double Chocolate Brownies will be a favorite for any chocolate lover.

The best part is that you can make a whole batch at home instead of heading to Starbucks and spending $3 on a potentially dry, overexposed brownie. So, why not give these fudgy brownies a try?

I recommend following these baking times to achieve the desired texture of your brownies. My kids adore gooey, slightly undercooked brownies, whereas I prefer a moist center with slightly firm edges.

  • Bake for 30 minutes to get those extra gooey, fudgy pieces in the middle and the perfectly fudgy pieces at the edges of the baking pan.
  • Bake 35 minutes to achieve perfectly fudgy pieces in the middle and those delightful chewy-fudgy edges!
  • Bake for 40 minutes to achieve chewy brownies in the middle and some crispier baked edges.

I take extra care to remove the crust, giving them that irresistible bakery appearance. As for the edges I’ve cut off, the kids and I can’t resist devouring them. It’s a delight to share these treats with loved ones while savoring every bite.

Even if you aren’t a big Starbucks fan, you must try making their delicious brownie recipe. This recipe will become one of your go-to recipes, and you and your friends will be delighted you tried them.

Recipe tips

  • To a smooth texture in your brownie batter. Before incorporating it, you can sift any lumps from your cocoa powder and flour. Nobody wants unwanted clumps interfering with the delectable perfection of their chocolate brownies!
  • Don’t have chocolate chunks; you can also use chocolate chips. Stick with semi-sweet, though, so these brownies aren’t too sweet.
  • I do not recommend switching out the butter for oil; you will not get the same chewy brownie.

    I think this is very close, but I got closer with black cocoa powder! The Starbucks version has that cookies-n-cream-minus-the-cream taste, that you can only achieve with black cocoa powder!! Still an amazing recipe! I followed it to a t, except I opted for black cocoa powder. DIVINE!

    I have tried so many brownie recipes (20+) trying to find one that I consider perfect. THIS is the first one that I can genuinely say fits the bill. The only change I made was I use bittersweet chocolate chunks instead of dark chocolate.They have the perfect almost underbaked chewy consistency. They’re sweet, but not overly sweet, have a paper thin crust on top, and just over all amazing. I’ve never commented on a recipe before so if that tells you anything about this recipe…

  3. 5 stars
    These Double Chocolate Brownies are to die for! They came out so rich and fudgy, just how I like them. I’ve tried a lot of brownie recipes, but this one truly stands out as the most decadent.

    I love copy-cat recipes that taste like the original, or in this case better! These did not disappoint
