Ingredients

• 170 grams unsalted butter
• 200 grams dark chocolate (roughly chopped)
• 200 grams granulated sugar
• 100 grams brown sugar (packed)
• 3 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 130 grams all-purpose flour
• 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 100 grams pecans (roughly chopped)
• 100 grams chocolate chips (semisweet or milk)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a square 20cm (8-inch) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on two sides for easy removal.

Step 2

In a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water (or in the microwave in short bursts), melt the butter and dark chocolate together, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and the melted chocolate-butter mixture until combined.

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt, then fold the dry ingredients gently into the wet mixture using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the chopped pecans and chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it into an even layer.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).

Step 9

Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang.

Step 10

Slice into 16 squares and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
