Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams light brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 120 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 100 grams chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a 9x9 inch (23x23 cm) baking pan with parchment paper and grease lightly with butter or non-stick spray.
Melt the butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips together in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method) or in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and slightly glossy, about 2 minutes.
Slowly pour the melted chocolate mixture into the sugar and egg mixture, whisking continuously until fully combined.
Sift the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt into the wet ingredients. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the batter using a spatula until just combined and no streaks remain. Do not overmix.
If using chopped walnuts or pecans, fold them gently into the batter at this stage.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Smooth the top if needed.
Bake in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Be careful not to overbake for maximum fudginess.
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into 12 squares or your desired portion size. Enjoy!
