Ingredients
- 8 oz (200 g) Chocolate dark, bittersweet chocolate chips, or semi-sweet chocolate
- 6 oz (170 g) Unsalted butter room temperature
- 1 cup (220 g) Sugar
- 3 large Eggs
- ⅔ cup (80 g) All purpose flour or gluten-free flour
- ¼ tsp Salt
- 2 tbsp (15 g) Cocoa powder
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 4 oz (110 g) Chocolate chips
Optional
- ¼ cup (60 ml) Brewed coffee or 1/2 tsp espresso powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven 350°F/ 177°C/ Gas Mark 4.
- Prep pans - Line a 13 x 9 baking with cooking spray, parchment paper, or aluminum foil. (I used a 9 x 9 square baking pan in the video)Pro tip - make sure to leave an overhang of parchment paper along the edges so you can pick the baked brownie out for easy slicing.
- Dry ingredients - In a medium bowl combine the flour, cocoa, and salt. Use a whisk to ensure everything is well combined.⅔ cup All purpose flour, 2 tbsp Cocoa powder, ¼ tsp Salt
- In a large microwave-safe bowl add the butter and chocolate. Melt it on high at one-minute intervals until smooth. Pro tip - Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate in a saucepan over low heat.8 oz Chocolate, 6 oz Unsalted butter
- Wet ingredients - Add sugar to the chocolate-butter mixture and stir until the mixture is almost cooled. Then, add the eggs one at a time making sure each one is well incorporated before adding the next. Then, add the vanilla extract and brewed coffee. Pro tip - combine the sugar well so it cools the chocolate mixture otherwise it will curdle the eggs.1 cup Sugar, 3 large Eggs, 1 tsp Vanilla extract, ¼ cup Brewed coffee
- Combine dry to wet - Add the flour mixture and chocolate chips. Combine well until no dry flour is seen.4 oz Chocolate chips
- Bake - Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and bake on the middle rack for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs. Pro tip - brownies are best undercooked rather than overcooked so make sure not to overcook the brownies.
- Cool - Place the baking pan on the wire rack for a few minutes. Then pick the whole slab of brownies out of the pan with the help of the parchment overhang and cool further. Then, cut into 16 squares.
