These salted caramel brownies balance gooey caramel with fudgy chocolate in a way that feels indulgent but still approachable. A simple 5-ingredient recipe perfect for quick homemade desserts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 115g (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, melted
  • 200g (1 cup) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 125g (1 cup) all-purpose flour
  • 120ml (1/2 cup) salted caramel sauce
  • Pinch of sea salt flakes

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease your 8×8 inch baking pan with butter or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Melt 115g (1/2 cup) of unsalted butter until just liquid and let it cool slightly.
  3. Add 200g (1 cup) sugar to the melted butter and stir until combined and glossy.
  4. Crack in 2 large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  5. Sift 125g (1 cup) of all-purpose flour over the mixture and gently fold it in with a spatula until just combined.
  6. Pour half the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  7. Spoon about 120ml (1/2 cup) of salted caramel sauce in dollops onto the batter and swirl gently with a knife or skewer.
  8. Spread the remaining brownie batter over the caramel layer evenly.
  9. Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt flakes on top.
  10. Bake for 25-30 minutes, checking at 25 minutes with a toothpick; it should come out with a few moist crumbs but not wet batter.
  11. Let the brownies cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for smooth mixing. Don’t overmix the flour to keep brownies tender. Swirl caramel gently to maintain marbled effect. Watch bake time closely and tent with foil if caramel bubbles too much. Let brownies cool completely before slicing to avoid caramel running.
