Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams Unsalted butter
- 200 grams Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 100 grams Brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 95 grams All-purpose flour
- 30 grams Cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 50 grams Optional toppings (e.g., crushed nuts, chocolate chunks, or sprinkles)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line an 8x8 inch (20x20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on the sides for easy removal.
In a heatproof bowl, melt the unsalted butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips together over a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until smooth. Let the mixture cool slightly.
Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract to the melted chocolate-butter mixture. Whisk thoroughly until combined.
Crack in the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. The batter should thicken and become smooth.
Using a fine-mesh sieve, sift in the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly. If desired, sprinkle your optional toppings (e.g., crushed nuts, chocolate chunks, or sprinkles) over the surface.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted 2 inches from the edge comes out with a few moist crumbs. The center should remain slightly soft for a fudgy texture.
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, lift them out using the parchment paper overhang and cut into 12 squares.
Serve as is or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
