Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 cup walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until smooth and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy.
Gradually pour the melted chocolate mixture into the sugar and eggs, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from cooking.
Sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder in a separate bowl. Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a rubber spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
If using walnuts, gently fold them into the batter.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly using the back of a spoon or an offset spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (do not overbake).
Remove the brownie pan from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan before lifting out using the parchment paper overhang.
Slice into 12 squares or pieces and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
