Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 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 optional mix-ins (chopped nuts, chocolate chunks, etc.)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a 20cm (8-inch) square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
In a microwave-safe bowl or a heatproof bowl set over simmering water, melt the butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips together, stirring until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
Whisk in the granulated sugar and brown sugar into the melted chocolate mixture until combined and glossy.
Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
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.
If using optional mix-ins, gently fold them into the batter at this stage.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly 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 (do not overbake).
Remove the pan from the oven and let the brownies cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then lift them out using the parchment paper overhang and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, slice into 12 squares and enjoy!
