Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams Unsalted butter
- 200 grams Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 100 grams Brown sugar
- 3 units Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 120 grams All-purpose flour
- 30 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 100 grams Raisins
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a 9x9 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
In a heatproof bowl, melt the butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips together over a saucepan of simmering water, stirring occasionally, until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Whisk in the granulated sugar and brown sugar into the melted chocolate mixture until well combined.
Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt until evenly mixed.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the raisins until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out into an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Remove from the oven and allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once cooled, use the parchment paper to lift the brownies out of the pan and transfer them to a cutting board. Slice into 12 equal squares and serve.
