Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams unsalted butter
- 170 grams semi-sweet chocolate
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams brown sugar
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 95 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 150 grams chocolate chunks or chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a slight overhang for easy removal later.
In a heatproof bowl, melt the butter and semi-sweet chocolate together over a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring after each interval until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and the melted chocolate mixture until smooth and combined.
Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Gently fold in the chocolate chunks or chocolate chips, reserving a small handful to sprinkle on top.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the surface with a spatula. Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chunks on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted 2 inches from the edge comes out with moist crumbs. Avoid overbaking for fudgier brownies.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, lift the brownies out using the parchment paper overhang and slice into 12 squares.
Serve and enjoy your delicious Chocolate Chunk Brownies!
