Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 150 grams brown sugar (light or dark, packed)
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 120 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 100 grams chocolate chips or chunks
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and dark chocolate together, stirring constantly until smooth. Remove from heat and allow it to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and the slightly cooled chocolate-butter mixture until smooth.
Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Then, whisk in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Sift the flour, cocoa powder, and salt into the wet ingredients. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture with a spatula, being careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chips or chunks, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes, or until the top is shiny and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, lift the brownies out using the parchment paper overhang and transfer them to a cutting board.
Slice the brownies into 12 equal pieces and serve. Enjoy the rich, chocolate-packed flavor!
