Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams Unsalted butter
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 100 grams Brown sugar
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 130 grams All-purpose flour
- 55 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Espresso powder
- 150 grams Dark chocolate chips
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Sea salt
- 1 teaspoon Flaky sea salt (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring the edges hang over for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the butter turns golden brown and develops a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and browned butter. Whisk until smooth and fully combined.
Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, espresso powder, baking powder, and sea salt.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, being careful not to overmix. Stir until just combined.
Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Sprinkle the flaky sea salt evenly over the top of the batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (avoid over-baking for fudgy brownies).
Remove the pan from the oven and cool completely on a wire rack. Once cooled, use the parchment overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan.
Cut into 12 squares or desired portions and serve. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
