Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 170 grams semisweet chocolate chips
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams brown sugar (lightly packed)
- 3 eggs
- 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 95 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 100 grams dark chocolate chunks
- 2 tablespoons heart-shaped sprinkles (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a 9x9-inch square baking pan. Line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and semisweet chocolate chips together in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth. Let the mixture cool slightly.
Whisk in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until the mixture is well combined and glossy.
Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract.
Using a sieve, sift in the all-purpose flour and cocoa powder. Add the salt to the mixture. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the dark chocolate chunks for that extra dose of chocolate.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly.
If desired, sprinkle heart-shaped sprinkles on top for a festive Valentine's Day touch.
Bake in the preheated oven for 28-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs (avoid overbaking).
Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan. Use the parchment paper to lift the brownies out, then cut them into 12 squares or desired shapes.
Serve and enjoy with your loved ones!
