- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup (50 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3/4 cup (94 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup (67 g) brown sugar
Chocolate Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (85 g) chocolate chips (for the batter)
- 1/2 cup (85 g) milk chocolate chips (for topping)
Additional Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 175C (350F), creating an ideal baking environment for rich, fudgy brownies.
- Prepare an 8×8-inch baking pan by generously greasing the surface and lining with parchment paper, ensuring easy brownie removal.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, thoroughly combine melted butter with granulated and brown sugars until the mixture appears silky and uniform.
- Introduce eggs and vanilla extract, whisking vigorously until the ingredients integrate completely and develop a smooth consistency.
- Sift cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder directly into the wet mixture, creating a velvety chocolate base.
- Fold the dry ingredients gently into the wet mixture, maintaining a light touch to prevent overmixing and preserve the brownies’ delicate texture.
- Distribute chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter, ensuring each bite will contain delightful chocolate pockets.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it uniformly to guarantee consistent baking.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, watching for a toothpick that emerges with minimal moist crumbs, indicating perfect fudgy consistency.
- Allow brownies to rest in the pan for 10 minutes, then transition to a wire rack for complete cooling.
- Melt milk chocolate chips and create an indulgent topping layer across the cooled brownies’ surface.
- Enhance visual appeal by sprinkling additional chocolate chips over the melted chocolate layer.
- Permit the chocolate topping to solidify completely before slicing into delectable squares.
- Present these luxurious chocolate treats and savor the rich, decadent flavors.
Notes
- Achieve extra fudgy texture by slightly underbaking the brownies, ensuring a toothpick has moist crumbs when tested.
- Customize the recipe for gluten-free diets by substituting all-purpose flour with almond or gluten-free flour blend.
- Enhance chocolate intensity by using dark cocoa powder or adding a splash of espresso for deeper, richer flavor.
- Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days, or refrigerate for extended freshness.
