Ingredients

• 226 grams Unsalted butter
• 170 grams Bittersweet chocolate (70% cacao)
• 250 grams Granulated sugar
• 200 grams Brown sugar (packed)
• 4 pieces Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
• 125 grams All-purpose flour
• 30 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 100 grams Optional chopped nuts or chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and line an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.

Step 2

In a heatproof bowl, melt the butter and bittersweet chocolate together over a double boiler or in a microwave in 30-second increments, stirring in between. Let it cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and brown sugar. Add the melted chocolate mixture and whisk until smooth.

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

If using, gently fold in the optional chopped nuts or chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.

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 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.

Step 9

Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang.

Step 10

Cut into 16 squares and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
