How to Tell If Brownies are Done?

By looking at the brownies, you can determine whether they are done. Your brownie’s top should be matte and broken. You may time your brownies according to the directions on the package.

You may also do the toothpick test by inserting a toothpick into the middle of your brownies and removing a smear of chocolate goo. You may also just check the interior temperature of your brownies. It’s done when the temperature reaches between 165 and 210 degrees Fahrenheit.

How to Fix Undercooked Brownies

Undercooked brownies may be fixed in two easy ways: in the oven or in the microwave.

1. In the Oven

To repair overcooked brownies in the oven, just bake them again in the same baking pan. If it’s still too gooey when you take it from the pan, put it on a conventional baking sheet and warm it in a 350F oven.

The amount of time you bake them for depends on the condition of your brownies. If you know your brownies were underbaked by a few minutes, just re-bake them for that length of time. When in doubt, bake them in a preheated oven for three to five minutes, checking every three to five minutes.

2. In the Microwave

A microwave-safe dish is required for the microwave procedure. Unlike oven heat, which goes through the pan from the outside in, microwave heat travels from the inside out, making this a great method to rescue uncooked brownies without overcooking the edges.

Put the brownies in a microwave-safe dish or container, set your microwave to medium, and cook for 30 seconds at a time. Inspect after each cooking cycle to avoid burning your brownies.

FAQs

Still have questions about why your brownies are undercooked and how to repair them? Find your solutions below.

Why are my brownies raw in the middle?

Heat normally reaches the pan’s edge more faster than it does the middle. As a result, your brownies may be cooked on the outside but undercooked in the inside.

If you followed the recipe precisely but your brownies are still fully raw in the centre, it might be because you used a pan that was too small, causing the brownie to thicken. The longer it takes to cook the brownie, the thicker it is.

Remember, it’s OK if your brownies are still somewhat gooey in the middle when they’re done.

Should brownies gooey in the middle?

This is entirely a matter of personal choice. To produce chewy and fudgy brownies, your brownies should be slightly undercooked and gooey in the centre. Gooey cakey brownies, on the other hand, should no longer exist.

How do you make brownies less gooey?

To make your brownies less gooey, heat them for a few minutes longer than suggested above. If your brownies are already baked but still too gooey for your liking, just chill them in the refrigerator. The low temperature will aid in the solidification of the chocolate and butter, making it less gooey.

Do brownies harden as they cool?

When they cool, brownies stiffen. This is because the oil and chocolate used in brownies are liquid while cooked but solidify when cooled.

How long should I let brownies cool?

Generally, you should wait at least 30 minutes before cutting or diving into your brownies. Remember that the time will vary depending on the size of your tray and the thickness of your brownies. It might take up to two hours to chill a bigger tray. As a general rule, only touch it with clean fingertips and wait for it to cool fully before cutting it.

Final Thoughts

Brownies, you see, are neither difficult to make nor difficult to mend. If your brownies are undercooked, just throw them in the oven or microwave for a few seconds, and you’ll have flawless brownies ready to go.
