Instructions

Step 1

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F).
Grease and line a brownie tin with parchment paper.

Step 2

Making the Batter

In a bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar until light and fluffy, about 4-5 minutes.
Meanwhile, melt the butter and dark chocolate in the microwave. Let it cool slightly.
Combine the melted chocolate mixture with the egg mixture and mix well using a spatula.
Add in all the dry ingredients and the optional nuts, and mix until well combined.

Step 3

Baking

Pour the batter into the prepared tin, and spread it evenly.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Let the brownies cool slightly before serving.

Step 4

Serving

Serve the brownies while still warm.
Top with a scoop of ice cream for an extra delicious treat. Enjoy!

Variations

Gluten-Free and Vegan Variations 🌱

Good news! You can easily adapt this recipe to suit gluten-free and vegan needs without compromising on taste.

Gluten-Free: Replace the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Ensure the baking powder is also gluten-free.

Vegan: Use flax eggs instead of regular eggs (1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tablespoons of water per egg). Substitute the butter with coconut oil or a vegan butter alternative. Make sure your dark chocolate is dairy-free.

With these tweaks, everyone can enjoy a delicious, inclusive treat! 🎉

Faq

  • Do I need to sift the flour?

    While it's not mandatory for this recipe, sifting the flour can help ensure a smoother batter and prevent lumps.

  • Can I use milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate?

    Yes, you can. However, the sweetness will increase, and you might want to reduce the amount of sugar slightly.

  • How do I store these brownies?

    Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or in the fridge for a week.

  • Can I freeze the brownies?

    Absolutely! Wrap each brownie individually in plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer-safe bag. They can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature before enjoying.

  • How can I tell if my brownies are done?

    Insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out with a few moist crumbs, they’re perfect. Be careful not to overbake!

  • Can I double the recipe?

    Yes, you can. Double the ingredients and use a larger tin. You might need to adjust the baking time slightly, so keep an eye on them.
