Description
Decadent brown butter brownies with a fudgy texture and rich flavor, perfect for cozy afternoons.
Ingredients
Scale
- 10 tablespoons (150g) unsalted butter, cut into 10 slices
- 6 ounces (170g) chopped semi-sweet chocolate, good quality
- 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
- In a medium saucepot, add butter slices and place onto a stove burner set to medium heat. Heat, stirring frequently, until the butter melts and turns a light golden brown color, about 5 to 8 minutes.
- Working quickly, whisk in the chopped chocolate until melted and smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, combine both sugars and eggs. Using an electric mixer fitted with the whip attachment or whisking by hand, whisk together until well mixed, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Add your vanilla, cocoa, and the slightly cooled brown butter mixture to the egg mix. Whisk until well combined.
- Gently fold in the flour, salt, and chocolate chips until just combined.
- Pour your batter into the prepared baking pan. Bake in the center of your preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes.
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan. Once cool, use the overhanging parchment paper to lift them out and cut into 16 slices.
- Sprinkle optional flaky sea salt on top before serving!
