Servings 16 brownies
Calories 215kcal
Ingredients
- ½ cup salted butter or unsalted butter plus ¼ teaspoon coarse salt
- ¾ cup chopped dark chocolate (about 6 ounces)
- 1 cup granulated white sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder or Dutch-process cocoa powder
- ½ cup chocolate chips dark, bittersweet, or semi-sweet
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 9-inch square baking tin with baking parchment, or spray with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
- Place a large heat proof mixing bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, ensuring the water does not touch the bottom of the bowl. Add the butter and dark chocolate to the bowl and stir until just melted. Remove from the heat.
- Whisk the sugar and vanilla extract into the chocolate mixture. Quickly whisk in the eggs until combined.
- Add the flour and cocoa powder to the mixture and mix until just combined. Fold through the chocolate chips.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 30 - 35 minutes. Remove from oven and let brownies cool completely in pan before removing and slicing.
Notes
Brownies are a dessert that everyone likes baked slightly differently. To bake them to your desired doneness, follow this guideline:
For underdone brownies, a toothpick inserted and removed will have a film of thick batter.
For fudgy brownies, an inserted toothpick will have a few moist crumbs clinging to it.
For cake-like brownies, an inserted toothpick will come out clean.
