Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Optional: Chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts or pecans)
- Cooking spray or butter (for greasing the pie dish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish with cooking spray or butter and set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter (about 30 seconds to 1 minute). Add the semi-sweet chocolate chips to the hot butter and stir until completely smooth and melted. Let the mixture cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs until well combined and slightly frothy. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually pour the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the sugar and egg mixture, stirring constantly to combine.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until no streaks of flour are visible. Be careful not to overmix.
If using nuts, gently fold them into the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared pie dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the center is just set and a toothpick inserted near the edge comes out with a few moist crumbs. Do not overbake; the center should remain slightly gooey for that 'impossible pie' texture.
Remove the brownie pie from the oven and let it cool completely in the pie dish. Once cool, slice into wedges and serve. Optional: Top with whipped cream, ice cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
