Description
Fudgy, deeply chocolatey brownies enhanced with nutty, toasted brown butter, offering a rich, complex flavor without any extra fuss.
Ingredients
- 180 g unsalted butter (3/4 cup + 1 tbsp)
- 250 g dark chocolate (about 1 cup + 1/4 cup + 2 tbsp), chopped
- 3 large eggs
- 100 g light or dark brown sugar (1/2 cup, packed)
- 100 g granulated sugar (1/4 cup + 3 tbsp)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 100 g plain (all-purpose) flour (1/2 cup + 2 tbsp)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 50 g milk chocolate, chopped (1/4 cup), optional
- 50 g milk chocolate chips (1/4 cup)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment.
- Melt the butter over medium heat, stirring constantly until golden-brown and nutty.
- Pour hot brown butter over chopped dark chocolate and let sit for 1-2 minutes. Stir until smooth and glossy.
- In a bowl, whisk eggs with both sugars until thickened and lightened in color.
- Stir in vanilla and fold in the chocolate-butter mixture.
- Fold in flour and salt until just incorporated, then add chopped milk chocolate and chips.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes until edges are set and a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool completely before slicing into squares.
Notes
Use salted butter but reduce added salt to 1/8 tsp for a saltier flavor. For gluten-free, swap flour with a 1:1 GF blend.
