Ingredients

For the Brown Butter:

  • 10 tablespoons (150g) unsalted butter, cut into 10 slices

For the Brownies:

  • 6 ounces (170g) chopped semi-sweet chocolate, good quality *see notes
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100g) packed brown sugar, light or dark
  • 3 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (40g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup (60g) all-purpose flour, spoon and leveled
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks (optional)
  • flaky sea salt (optional – for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven and prepare the pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease and line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Brown the butter: In a medium saucepot, melt the butter over medium heat until it turns a light golden brown color. Remove from heat and whisk in the chopped chocolate until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
  3. Prepare the batter: In a large bowl, whisk together sugars and eggs until the sugar is dissolved. Add vanilla, cocoa, and brown butter mixture, then mix in the flour, salt, and chocolate chips.
  4. Bake the brownies: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes. Cool completely before slicing into 16 bars.
  5. Optional: Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top before serving.

Notes

  • Good quality chocolate makes all the difference in flavor and texture! Try to use Baker’s or couverture chocolate for best results.
