Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1.5 cups unsalted butter high-quality recommended
- 10 ounces bittersweet chocolate finely chopped
- 5 large eggs
- 1.25 cups granulated sugar
- 0.75 cups light brown sugar packed
- 3 tablespoons vanilla extract
- 0.75 cups natural cocoa powder unsweetened
- 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 1.5 cups chocolate morsels milk or dark, according to preference
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper.
- Melt the butter and chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over simmering water, stirring until smooth. Let cool slightly.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, flour, and baking powder.
- Whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until light and creamy.
- Blend the melted chocolate mixture into the whisked eggs until well combined.
- Gently fold the sifted dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just incorporated. Fold in the chocolate morsels.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, leveling the surface. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes.
- Tap the pan firmly on the counter to create signature crinkles and return to the oven for another 15 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan. Lift out using parchment overhang and cut into squares.
Notes
For a gluten-free option, substitute the all-purpose flour with a certified gluten-free flour blend. Keep brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days for maximum freshness.
