Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams brown sugar
- 60 grams cocoa powder
- 95 grams all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 75 grams chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line an 8x8 inch (20x20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter. Allow it to cool slightly before proceeding.
Once the butter has cooled, whisk in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cocoa powder until smooth and fully combined.
Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
Gently fold in the flour using a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the brownies tough.
If using, fold in the chocolate chips for extra gooey pockets of chocolate in each bite.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the top is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang. Slice into 9 squares and enjoy!
