Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams Unsalted butter
- 200 grams Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 100 grams Brown sugar
- 3 whole Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 125 grams All-purpose flour
- 30 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 100 grams Optional: walnuts or chocolate chunks
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhangs to easily lift the brownies out once baked.
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, add the semi-sweet chocolate chips and stir until completely smooth and combined. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and 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 all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt into the wet ingredients. Using a spatula, gently fold the dry ingredients into the batter until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
If using walnuts or chocolate chunks, fold them gently into the batter at this stage.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Be careful not to overbake to maintain the fudgy texture.
Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once cool, lift the brownies out using the parchment paper overhang. Slice into 12 equal pieces and serve. Enjoy!
