Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 170 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 95 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 75 grams chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a 9x13-inch rectangular baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it with butter.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the semi-sweet chocolate chips and stir until fully melted and smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and brown sugar. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Slowly pour the melted chocolate mixture into the sugar mixture, whisking constantly until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula until no streaks of flour remain.
If desired, fold in the chopped walnuts for added texture and flavor.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and use a spatula to spread it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares or rectangles. Serve and enjoy!
