Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams Unsalted butter
- 170 grams Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 100 grams Brown sugar
- 3 Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 95 grams All-purpose flour
- 30 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 100 grams Optional mix-ins: chopped walnuts, more chocolate chips, or candy pieces
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a 20 cm (8-inch) square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips together. Stir continuously until smooth, then remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Slowly pour the melted chocolate mixture into the sugar mixture, whisking continuously until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
If using any optional mix-ins, fold them into the batter now.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
Remove the pan from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares.
Serve and enjoy your incredibly rich and fudgy brownies!
