Instructions

Step 1

Melt the Chocolate and Butter

In a microwave, separately melt the *unsalted butter* and *dark chocolate*, either in callets or chopped into pieces. Once melted, combine them together.

Step 2

Prepare the Egg Mixture

In a large mixing bowl, beat the *eggs* with *white sugar*, *brown sugar*, *salt*, and *vanilla extract* until you achieve a smooth consistency.

Step 3

Combine Ingredients

Gently mix the beaten egg mixture with the melted chocolate mixture.

Step 4

Add Dry Ingredients

Sift in the *all-purpose flour* and *cocoa powder*, and mix thoroughly until well combined. You can add *chopped nuts* and *chocolate chips* at this stage or sprinkle them on top of the batter as I did.

Step 5

Bake the Brownies

Pour the batter into a baking pan (approximately 20 x 30 cm or 8 x 12 inches) and bake in a preheated oven at *180°C (356°F)* for around *30 minutes*. Allow to cool, cut into squares, and enjoy!

P.S. If you don’t have brown sugar, you can substitute with regular white sugar. Enjoy your *chocolatey* delight!

Servings

Cutting and Plating 🍴✨
Once your brownies have cooled, slice them into neat squares. For an aesthetically pleasing display, stack them slightly staggered on a beautiful plate.


Pairing Options ☕️🍦
Is there anything better than a scoop of vanilla ice cream slowly melting over a warm brownie? Or try a dollop of whipped cream with a sprinkle of cocoa powder for a simple elegant twist.


Gourmet Garnishes 🌰🍊
Sprinkle some crushed nuts or orange zest on top for a gourmet touch. These additions not only add depth in flavor but also elevate the visual appeal of your brownies.

Variations

Gluten-Free Goodness 🌾🚫
Switch out the regular flour with almond or coconut flour. It's a simple swap that makes these brownies safe for gluten-free diets while adding a delightful nutty undertone.


Vegan Delight 🍃❤️
Replace the butter with coconut oil and the eggs with flaxseed eggs (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water per egg). Opt for vegan chocolate, and voilà, you've got a vegan treat to swoon over!

Faq

  • How do I prevent my brownies from becoming too dry?

    Make sure not to overbake. Check them at the 25-minute mark, they should be set on top but still a little soft in the center.

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

    Use a microwave-safe bowl and melt it in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.

  • Can I add other toppings into the batter?

    Absolutely! Feel free to mix in caramel swirls or berries for a unique twist.

  • What's the purpose of using both white and brown sugar?

    It's all about texture and flavor. Brown sugar adds moisture and a hint of molasses flavor, making the brownies chewier.

  • Can I freeze these brownies for later?

    Yes, you can! Wrap them individually in plastic wrap and store in an airtight container for up to 3 months.

  • How can I make my brownies extra fudgy?

    Reduce the flour amount slightly and bake on a slightly lower temperature to encourage moisture retention.
