Ingredients
- 200 grams Unsalted butter
- 200 grams Dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
- 250 grams Granulated sugar
- 100 grams Brown sugar
- 3 Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 120 grams All-purpose flour
- 30 grams Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 100 grams Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
- 100 grams Dark chocolate chunks or chips (optional, for mix-ins)

Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a 20cm (8-inch) square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter and dark chocolate together over low heat, stirring frequently to combine, until smooth and glossy. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs until light and frothy. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
Step 4
Pour the slightly cooled chocolate-butter mixture into the sugar-egg mixture and whisk until fully incorporated.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and sea salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula, being careful not to overmix.
Step 6
If desired, fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans and dark chocolate chunks for added texture and flavor.
Step 7
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with the spatula. For a finishing touch, sprinkle flaky sea salt on top to enhance the rich chocolate flavor.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the center is just set and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out with a few moist crumbs (be careful not to overbake).
Step 9
Remove the pan from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing into 12 squares or rectangles.
Step 10
Serve as-is or pair with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat. Enjoy the flavors reminiscent of a day exploring London's Borough Market!
