Ingredients
- 120 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams brown sugar
- 60 grams cocoa powder
- 95 grams all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 75 grams chocolate chips (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line an 8x8 inch (20x20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
Step 2
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter. Allow it to cool slightly before proceeding.
Step 3
Once the butter has cooled, whisk in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cocoa powder until smooth and fully combined.
Step 4
Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
Step 5
Gently fold in the flour using a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the brownies tough.
Step 6
If using, fold in the chocolate chips for extra gooey pockets of chocolate in each bite.
Step 7
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the top is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
Step 9
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang. Slice into 9 squares and enjoy!
