Ingredients

• 113 grams unsalted butter
• 170 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 200 grams granulated sugar
• 50 grams light brown sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 45 ml tequila
• 5 ml pure vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon lime zest
• 95 grams all-purpose flour
• 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 teaspoons sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoons baking powder

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line an 8x8 inch square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving overhangs on the sides for easy removal, and lightly grease the paper.

Step 2

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips together in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth. Let the mixture cool slightly.

Step 3

Whisk the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and melted chocolate mixture together in a large bowl until well combined.

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the tequila, vanilla extract, and lime zest until fully incorporated.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, sea salt, and baking powder.

Step 6

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula, mixing just until no streaks of flour remain. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Be cautious not to overbake.

Step 9

Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the brownies out.

Step 10

Slice into 12 squares and serve. Enjoy the rich chocolate flavor with the delightful tequila-lime twist!
