love and lemons brownies: Hands down, the best brownie recipe with ingredients you will definitely have at home. The texture is perfectly chewy with a little bit of gooey-ness in the center. The only thing is, you’ve gotta wait the full two hours for them to cool—patience is a virtue, delayed gratification is one of the main ingredients here.

Symphony Brownies: These are the best brownies, hands down. They likely will not crumble because of the chocolate bar-center, but you will not care if they do. You will want to eat these however they are.

NYT Easy Skillet Brownies: First, make sure the brownies (no matter what recipe) are fully cooled before cutting if you want zero fall apart. These easy skillet brownies are more of a brownie cake hybrid. Personally, I mix the ingredients in a separate bowl then transfer to the cast iron skillet. Once cooled, they slice perfectly into wedges!
