Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 0.75 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup dark chocolate chips
- 0.25 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
- 1 tablespoon neutral oil (for greasing the pan)
Instructions
Prepare your cooking area by placing a heatproof nonstick skillet or heavy-bottomed pan (10-12 inches wide) over low heat. Grease the pan lightly with neutral oil to prevent sticking.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, remove the saucepan from the heat and whisk in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cocoa powder until smooth and well combined.
Allow the mixture to cool slightly (about 2-3 minutes), then whisk in the eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Sift the flour and salt into the wet ingredients, then gently fold them together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips and walnuts (if using) for added texture and richness.
Pour the brownie batter into the greased nonstick skillet, spreading it into an even layer with a spatula.
Cover the skillet with a tight-fitting lid or aluminum foil. Cook the brownies over low heat for 20-25 minutes. Rotate the skillet occasionally to ensure even cooking and check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center—if it comes out with a few moist crumbs, the brownies are ready.
Once cooked, remove the skillet from the heat and allow the brownies to cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
Carefully slice into squares or wedges and serve warm or at room temperature. Pair with a scoop of ice cream for an extra indulgent treat!
