Ingredients
- 150 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams dark chocolate
- 250 grams granulated sugar
- 50 grams brown sugar
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 100 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 100 grams chocolate chips (optional)
- 50 grams chopped nuts (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and dark chocolate together over low heat, stirring frequently until smooth. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and brown sugar with the melted chocolate mixture until well combined.
Step 4
Add the eggs one at a time, whisking thoroughly after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 5
Sift the flour, cocoa powder, and salt into the wet ingredients, and gently fold until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6
If using chocolate chips or chopped nuts, fold them into the batter at this stage.
Step 7
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is set and 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 on a wire rack.
Step 10
Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan. Cut into 12 squares and serve. Enjoy!
