Ingredients
Brownie Ingredients
- 8 oz (225 g) bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, chopped
- 1/2 cup (113 g) unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal later.
- Melt chocolate and butter: In a heatproof bowl, combine chopped chocolate and butter. Melt them together over a simmering water bath or carefully in the microwave, stirring frequently until smooth and glossy.
- Mix sugar and salt: Remove the bowl from heat and stir in the granulated sugar and salt until fully combined and slightly cooled.
- Add eggs and vanilla: Beat the eggs and vanilla extract into the chocolate mixture one at a time, whisking well after each addition to create a smooth, shiny batter.
- Pour batter into pan: Transfer the brownie batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Bake the brownies: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still looks slightly moist. Avoid overbaking to maintain fudginess.
- Cool and serve: Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting them out using the parchment paper. Cut into squares and enjoy!
Notes
- For extra richness, use dark chocolate with 60-70% cocoa content.
- Allow brownies to cool completely before slicing to prevent crumbling.
- Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- These brownies are naturally gluten-free but always check your chocolate brand to ensure no cross-contamination.
- You can add nuts or chocolate chips for extra texture if desired.
