Brownies are a simple pleasure, but are not to be underestimated. When you want a little more than a cookie, less than cake, and a lot of chocolate, brownies are there for you.
Here are the top brownies in Toronto.
5 – Bunner’s
If you’re looking for a vegan brownie, head to this Kensington bakery. Unlike many other brownies, their double chocolate brownie is round in shape, kind of like a giant vegan two-bite brownie.
It can be easy to forget that chocolate can be vegan, especially since it’s often accompanied by very non-vegan ingredients like milk and eggs. This brownie is a reminder of that fact, full of deep and punchy chocolatey flavour, with a texture that’s soft but not too crumbly.
4 – Mabel’s Bakery
For the densest brownies topped with a thick layer of sugary icing, head to a location of this bakery. With a deep, dark cocoa colour, these brownies feel as indulgent as eating a whole chocolate cake.
3 – Brodflour
This bakery in Liberty Village mills its own flour, and doesn’t just use it to make great bread, but also puts it to excellent use creating their own renditions of classic sweet treats.
Their rye chocolate brownie has a complexity of flavour that can only be attributed to high quality ingredients. It’s a nice chunky bar that’s very rich but also light, studded through with lots of big chunks of chocolate.
2 – Butter and Spice
Head into gelato shop Death in Venice to find brownies from Butter and Spice hiding inside. If you’re looking for brownies with a more creative spin, this is where to find them.
They offer brownies in rotating inventive varieties like cornflake, lemon poppyseed, Mini Egg, raspberry hibiscus or peanut butter and jelly. The peanut butter and jelly brownie is topped with a nice puffy border of lip-smacking peanut butter icing surrounding a tart jelly centre, and is sprinkled with nuts on top for a little crunch.
1 – Le Gourmand
The brownies from this traditional bakery are somehow light and very fudgey at the same time, perfect squares of chocolatey goodness. There are no bells and whistles here, just a classic crinkly top and a perfectly soft and moist texture that’s so satisfying to bite into.
