Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 2 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 1.5 cups Dark chocolate chips
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 medium Fresh jalapeños, finely diced
- Optional: Powdered sugar or chocolate drizzle
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, add the dark chocolate chips and stir until completely smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs. Beat with a whisk or hand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the vanilla extract and the cooled chocolate-butter mixture until well blended.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the finely diced jalapeños, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly with a 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.
Allow the brownies to cool for 15-20 minutes before slicing. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with melted chocolate before serving.
