Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams unsalted butter
- 180 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 50 grams brown sugar, packed
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 100 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 50 grams chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) square baking pan, and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, add the semi-sweet chocolate chips, stirring until fully combined and smooth. Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs until light and slightly frothy, about 2-3 minutes. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
Gradually pour the melted chocolate mixture into the sugar and egg mixture, stirring constantly to prevent curdling. Mix until fully incorporated.
Sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula, taking care not to overmix. If desired, gently fold in the chopped walnuts at this stage.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with the back of a spoon or spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until the edges are 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 let them cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Use the parchment paper to lift them out onto a wire rack to cool completely before cutting into squares.
Serve and enjoy your rich, fudgy Lost Brownie creation!
