Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams semi-sweet chocolate
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams light brown sugar
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 120 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 100 grams dark chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for topping)
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.
Melt the butter and semi-sweet chocolate together in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water (double boiler method). Stir until smooth, then set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and light brown sugar. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Stir in the vanilla extract and the melted chocolate mixture until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips for an extra burst of chocolate in each bite.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (do not overbake).
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 of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Slice into 12 equal squares.
Optional: Dust the top of the brownies with a light layer of powdered sugar before serving.
