Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 150 grams light brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 125 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 100 grams dark chocolate chips or chunks
- as needed optional toppings like flaky sea salt or powdered sugar
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 medium-sized saucepan, melt the unsalted butter and dark chocolate together over low heat, stirring frequently until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar and light brown sugar. Add the melted chocolate mixture and whisk until smooth.
Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract until fully combined.
Sift the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt into the wet ingredients. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the batter using a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips or chunks for extra fudginess.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it into an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the edges are set, and the center is slightly underbaked. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with moist crumbs but no wet batter.
Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan. For easier slicing, refrigerate the brownies for at least 1 hour once cooled.
Lift the brownies out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Slice into 12 bars or your desired size.
Optional: Sprinkle with flaky sea salt or dust with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy!
