Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams Unsalted butter
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 50 grams Brown sugar
- 70 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 65 grams All-purpose flour
- 100 grams Chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) baking dish with parchment paper, leaving overhang on the sides for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Once melted, remove the saucepan from heat.
Stir in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and unsweetened cocoa powder until smooth and fully combined. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.
Add the salt, vanilla extract, and eggs to the chocolate mixture. Beat well with a spatula or whisk until the batter becomes shiny and well blended.
Sift in the all-purpose flour and gently fold it into the batter until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
If using chocolate chips, fold them into the batter at this point for extra chocolatey goodness.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the center is just set and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out with a few moist crumbs (not completely clean).
Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once cool, lift the brownies out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Slice into 9 squares and serve. Enjoy!
