Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks or 225g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 ½ cups (300g) granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup (75g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp espresso powder (optional)
  • 1 cup (6 oz or 175g) bittersweet or semisweet chocolate chips
  • 4 oz (115g) semi-sweet chocolate bar, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
  2. Melt the butter and chopped chocolate together in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second bursts, stirring in between, until smooth and glossy (about 2 minutes total), or use a double boiler.
  3. Whisk in the sugar while the chocolate mixture is still warm but not hot to help dissolve the sugar.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract. The batter will look thick and shiny.
  5. In a separate bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and espresso powder.
  6. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet chocolate mixture using a spatula. Combine until no streaks remain, being careful not to overmix.
  7. Fold in the chocolate chips, reserving some for sprinkling on top if desired.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Sprinkle reserved chocolate chips on top.
  9. Bake for 30-35 minutes, checking at 30 minutes. The edges should look set and slightly pulling away from the pan, but the center should still look slightly underbaked. A toothpick inserted should come out with moist crumbs, not clean.
  10. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting. To speed cooling, refrigerate for 20 minutes if desired.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter after adding flour to avoid cakey brownies. Pull brownies out of the oven when the center is slightly underbaked for the best fudgy texture. Use quality chocolate for richer flavor. Tent foil halfway through baking if your oven runs hot to prevent burning. Espresso powder enhances chocolate flavor without adding coffee taste.
