Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 8 oz dark chocolate, chopped
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1½ cups granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp espresso powder (optional)
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Optional mix-ins: walnuts, white chocolate chunks, caramel swirls
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Melt Butter & Chocolate: In a heatproof bowl, melt the butter and dark chocolate together over a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals. Stir until smooth.
- Whisk in Cocoa & Sugars: While warm, add cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Stir well.
- Incorporate Eggs & Vanilla: Add eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
- Sift in Dry Ingredients: Sift in flour, salt, and espresso powder. Fold gently until just combined.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in chocolate chips or any mix-ins.
- Transfer to Pan: Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake: Bake for 30-35 minutes, until edges are set and center is slightly soft. A toothpick should come out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool Completely: Allow brownies to cool before slicing for the best texture.
- Slice & Serve: Use a sharp knife for clean slices. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
Notes
- For extra fudgy brownies, add ½ ounce more melted chocolate and slightly underbake.
- For a crackly top, beat sugar into warm butter and chocolate mixture.
- Let brownies cool completely before cutting for clean slices.
- Store at room temperature for 3 days, in the fridge for 1 week, or freeze for up to 3 months.
