Ingredients
- 230 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams semisweet chocolate chips
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams light brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 125 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 50 grams chopped walnuts (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a 9x9-inch (23x23 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and add the semisweet chocolate chips. Stir until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and eggs until light and slightly pale, about 1 minute. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
Step 4
Slowly pour the slightly cooled chocolate-butter mixture into the sugar-egg mixture, whisking continuously until fully combined.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula, being careful not to overmix. If using chopped walnuts, gently fold them into the batter at this stage.
Step 6
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (do not overbake).
Step 8
Remove the pan from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting them out using the parchment overhang.
Step 9
Cut into squares or rectangles and serve. Enjoy your rich and gooey fudge brownies!
