Ingredients
- 170 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams light brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 95 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 75 grams chopped walnuts (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
Step 2
Melt the butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips together in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method). Stir until smooth and fully combined. Remove the bowl from heat and let it cool slightly.
Step 3
Whisk the granulated sugar and light brown sugar into the melted chocolate mixture until well combined.
Step 4
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 5
Sift the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt together in a separate bowl. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula, being careful not to overmix.
Step 6
If using chopped walnuts, gently fold them into the batter at this stage.
Step 7
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
Step 9
Remove the pan from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Step 10
Once cooled, lift the brownies out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Slice into 12 equal pieces and serve. Enjoy your rich, fudgy chocolate brownies!
