Are brownies better with oil or butter?

In brownies, both butter and oil will offer a moist, tender texture, but only butter will give the dish the aeration needed for rising brownies well. If you use a cake brownie, butter is a better option because it helps rise the batter. For denser, fudge type brownies, oil is permissable.

What oil is best for brownies?

vegetable oilTypically, brownies call for the use of melted butter or vegetable oil as the fat in a recipe. Vegetable is the preferred oil because it has a mild flavor that you won't be able to detect in the final product.

What is the ratio of butter to vegetable oil?

There is not really a hard and fast rule to the right amount of oil to replace butter, but you can typically use about three-quarters of the amount of butter that is called for in the recipe. For instance, if the recipe calls for 10 tablespoons of butter, you can use about 7 1/2 tablespoons of oil.

Why are my brownies flat?

If your box brownies come out flat, it might be because sugar is already in the dry ingredients and you're not able to beat your eggs and sugar separately. When you're mixing everything together instead of going in a particular order, you risk overmixing your batter which will lead to your brownies collapsing.

Why are my brownies still runny in the middle?

Wrong temperature or cooking time If the whole of the brownie mix is undercooked, the oven temperature is too low, or you're simply not cooking the brownie for long enough. But more commonly, people have a problem whereby the brownies are overcooking at the edges while still being raw in the middle.

What makes brownies fudgy?

Fudgy brownies have a higher fat-to-flour ratio than cakey ones. So add more fat -- in this case, butter and chocolate. A cakey batch has more flour and relies on baking powder for leavening. The amount of sugar and eggs does not change whether you're going fudgy or cakey.
