Ingredients
- 200 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 150 grams light brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 125 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 100 grams dark chocolate chips or chunks
- 0 as needed optional toppings like flaky sea salt or powdered sugar
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on the sides for easy removal.
Step 2
In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the unsalted butter and dark chocolate together over low heat, stirring frequently until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar and light brown sugar. Add the melted chocolate mixture and whisk until smooth.
Step 4
Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract until fully combined.
Step 5
Sift the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt into the wet ingredients. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the batter using a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Fold in the dark chocolate chips or chunks for extra fudginess.
Step 7
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it into an even layer.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the edges are set, and the center is slightly underbaked. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with moist crumbs but no wet batter.
Step 9
Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan. For easier slicing, refrigerate the brownies for at least 1 hour once cooled.
Step 10
Lift the brownies out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Slice into 12 bars or your desired size.
Step 11
Optional: Sprinkle with flaky sea salt or dust with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy!
