Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams light brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 95 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 100 grams semi-sweet chocolate chunks
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until smooth and glossy. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar and light brown sugar. Add the melted chocolate mixture and whisk until well combined.
Whisk in the eggs, one at a time, making sure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Sift the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt into the wet mixture. Gently fold the ingredients together with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chunks, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top 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. Be careful not to overbake for fudgy brownies.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang.
Cut into 12 squares or the desired size and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
