Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa)
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 100 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 100 grams chocolate chips or chunks
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line an 8x8 inch (20x20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper. Leave some overhang to make it easier to lift the brownies out after baking.
In a heatproof bowl, melt the unsalted butter and dark chocolate together over a double boiler, or in short bursts in the microwave, stirring until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until pale and thick, about 2-3 minutes. This step helps create a crinkly top.
Slowly pour the slightly cooled melted butter and chocolate mixture into the sugar and egg mixture, and whisk 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 mixture, being careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chips or chunks, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
Remove the pan from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. This will help them set and make cutting easier.
Lift the cooled brownies out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang, then slice into 12 equal squares. Serve and enjoy your decadent dark chocolate indulgent brownies!
