Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams dark chocolate
- 250 grams granulated sugar
- 50 grams brown sugar
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 100 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 100 grams chocolate chips (optional)
- 50 grams chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and dark chocolate together over low heat, stirring frequently until smooth. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and brown sugar with the melted chocolate mixture until well combined.
Add the eggs one at a time, whisking thoroughly after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Sift the flour, cocoa powder, and salt into the wet ingredients, and gently fold until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
If using chocolate chips or chopped nuts, fold them into the batter at this stage.
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).
Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan. Cut into 12 squares and serve. Enjoy!
