Instructions

Step 1

1. Break the dark chocolate into pieces (if not using chocolate chips) and dice the unsalted butter. Place them in a bowl and melt using a double boiler or in the microwave in 10-second intervals, stirring occasionally. Tip: Be careful not to overheat the chocolate and butter to avoid burning.

Step 2

2. Beat the eggs with sugar until well combined. Add the slightly cooled chocolate mixture and beat once more. Tip: Make sure the chocolate mixture is cool enough so it doesn't cook the eggs.

Step 3

3. Combine all dry ingredients (flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder) and sift them into the wet mixture. Gently fold with a spatula until fully incorporated. Tip: Sifting helps prevent lumps and ensures a smoother batter.

Step 4

4. Line a 20x20 cm (8x8 inch) baking pan with parchment paper. Spread the batter evenly in the pan. Tip: Lightly grease the parchment paper to ensure easy removal of the brownies.

Step 5

5. Bake in a preheated oven at 170°C (340°F) for approximately 35 minutes. Tip: Oven temperatures may vary; start checking for doneness around the 30-minute mark.

Step 6

6. Check for doneness with a wooden skewer. The top should form a crust, while the inside remains slightly moist but not raw. Tip: If the skewer comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs, the brownie is done.

Step 7

7. Once done, remove the brownie from the pan and let it cool slightly before cutting into squares. Tip: For cleaner cuts, let the brownie cool completely.

Servings

🤩 Serving Suggestions: What’s a brownie without the perfect pairings? Let’s make this already epic treat even more unforgettable!

🔥 **Sizzling Hot Brownies:** Serve these brownies warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. The contrast between the hot brownie and the cold ice cream is to die for!

🍓 **Fruit Lovers Delight:** Enhance the experience by adding a handful of fresh berries like strawberries or raspberries on the side. The tartness of the berries balances beautifully with the sweet chocolate.

☕ **Coffee Break:** Pair your brownie with a steaming cup of espresso or a tall glass of cold brew coffee. Trust us, both will amplify the chocolatey goodness in ways you’ve never imagined.

Variations

Looking to make this recipe friendly for all types of eaters? 🌟

Gluten-Free Option: 🌾 Substitute the all-purpose flour for a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend. Ensure it's a mix suitable for baking, so you don't compromise the texture.

Vegan Option: 🥑 Here's where it gets interesting! Replace the butter with a plant-based alternative like coconut oil or vegan butter. Swap the eggs for a flaxseed mixture (1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed and 3 tablespoons of water per egg). Use dairy-free chocolate to keep it ultra vegan and equally delicious.

Faq

  • How do I prevent my brownies from overbaking?

    Keep a close eye on your oven, especially in the last 5 minutes. A wooden skewer inserted should come out with a few moist crumbs, but not raw batter.

  • Can I use milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate?

    You can, but it will result in a much sweeter brownie. Dark chocolate is preferred for a richer, more balanced flavor.

  • How can I make my brownies more fudgy?

    Reduce the flour slightly and add an extra egg yolk. Also, make sure not to overbake them!

  • What’s the best way to melt the chocolate without burning it?

    Use a double boiler for more control, or melt in the microwave in small, 10-second intervals, stirring frequently.

  • How can I store my brownies to keep them fresh?

    Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze them in single layers separated by parchment paper.

  • Why do my brownies sink in the middle?

    This could be due to underbaking or overmixing the batter. Make sure your oven temperature is accurate and use a light hand when folding in the flour.
