Copycat Starbucks Double Chocolate Brownies

This Copycat Starbucks Double Chocolate Brownies recipe is rich, chocolaty, chewy, and loaded with chocolate chunks just like the original. The only difference is that it’s even better because it’s homemade. Every single bite is double chocolatey delish! 

You all know I have a sweet tooth, and by now, you should also know that I love chocolate. This delicious copycat Starbucks double chocolate brownie recipe satisfies both of those loves in one delicious recipe! I get the double chocolate brownies at Starbucks frequently, but lately, I’ve been making this version that I came up with at hope because it’s so much fresher, so moist and chewy, AND so much more affordable! I love Starbucks, but I don’t love their prices. If I can get all that great flavor at home, I totally will! 

Copycat Starbucks Double Chocolate Brownies

This delicious, super-chocolaty recipe starts with a simple brownie batter that makes a nicely chewy, never cakey brownie. YUM! About 3/4 of the chocolate chunks go right into the batter. Then, the remaining chocolate chunks go on the top and bake to perfection. After that, I let them cool and enjoy. That’s all there is to it! When it’s all done, I have super moist and chewy brownies that are every chocolate lover’s dream!

Ingredients

This simple brownie recipe only uses basic baking ingredients that are probably already in your kitchen. Anything you might need can be found at any grocery store. 

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 1/2 – 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, make sure it’s pure vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, I used unbleached
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
• 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chunks, divided

How to Make This Starbucks Double Chocolate Brownie Recipe

Making these brownies is so quick and easy. The ingredients do all the work! You just have to mix and bake. That’s it!

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line 7×11, 8×8, or 9×9 in baking pan with parchment paper. Crumble up the parchment paper before lining the pan.
2. Melt the butter in the microwave and let it cool slightly. Then, mix it with the eggs, sugar, and vanilla in a stand or hand mixer with the paddle attachment. 
3. Add the cocoa powder and continue mixing until combined. 
4. Add the flour and salt to the mixture and mix again. 
5. Add 1 1/2 cups of the chocolate chunks into the batter and stir to combine. Spread out the batter into the prepared baking pan. Scatter the remaining chocolate chunks to the top of the batter.
6. Bake for 24 to 30 minutes or until the edges are just set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs but no thick batter. Try not to over bake.
7. Cool the brownies in the pan on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes to an hour until set and cool. 
8. Cut into 8 rectangles just like Starbucks brownies and enjoy! 

Substitutions and Variations

• Use Dutch cocoa powder for a more intense chocolate flavor. 
• You can use semi-sweet or dark chocolate chunks for this recipe. 
• Try adding chopped pecans for more flavor and texture. 

Tips

• Crumple up your parchment paper to make it easy to line the pan. 
• Be sure to let the butter cool a bit so you don’t scramble the eggs. 
• Mix the batter until combined but don’t overdo it! 
• Remove the brownies from the oven immediately after they pass the toothpick test so they don’t overbake. 
• Leave an overhand when lining your pan with parchment paper so you can use the parchment paper to lift out the brownies. 

Equipment

• Measuring cups and spoons
• 8×8 baking pan
• Stand mixer or electric hand mixer
• Knife for cutting the brownies
