Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 225 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 150 grams light brown sugar
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 125 grams all-purpose flour
- 40 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 100 grams dark chocolate chunks
- 75 grams chopped roasted hazelnuts
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a 9x9-inch (23x23 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper. Allow some parchment to overhang the sides for easy brownie removal later.
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, add the dark chocolate (200 grams) and stir until smooth and glossy. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar (200 grams) and light brown sugar (150 grams). Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract (2 teaspoons).
Pour the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the sugar and egg mixture. Gently whisk until fully combined and smooth.
Sift the all-purpose flour (125 grams), unsweetened cocoa powder (40 grams), and salt (0.5 teaspoons) into the wet mixture. Use a spatula to fold the dry ingredients into the batter until no dry streaks remain, being careful not to overmix.
Fold in the dark chocolate chunks (100 grams) and chopped roasted hazelnuts (75 grams) for luxurious pockets of flavor and texture.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with the spatula. Tap the pan gently on the countertop to release any air bubbles.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is set and a skewer inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
Remove the pan from the oven and allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan. Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the cooled brownies out of the pan.
Cut into 12 equal squares and enjoy your rich, indulgent Luxury Brownies. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
