Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 1/2 cups (300g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100g) packed brown sugar
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour (can substitute with gluten-free flour blend)
  • 3/4 cup (75g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (175g) bittersweet or semisweet chocolate chips
  • 3/4 cup (120g) chunky chocolate pieces, chopped
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup unsalted butter and 1 cup chocolate chips. Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring between, until smooth and glossy (about 2-3 minutes). If chocolate seizes, add a splash of warm milk or cream to smooth it out.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar and 1/2 cup brown sugar. Add 3 large eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in 2 teaspoons vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the melted butter and chocolate mixture into the sugar-egg mixture. Stir gently until combined, being careful not to overmix.
  5. In a separate bowl, sift together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet batter until no flour streaks remain.
  6. Fold in 3/4 cup chopped chocolate pieces, reserving a handful to sprinkle on top.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chunks on top.
  8. Bake for 28-32 minutes. Start checking at 28 minutes by inserting a toothpick; it should come out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
  9. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
  10. Slice with a sharp knife, wiping clean between cuts, and enjoy.

Notes

Do not overmix after adding flour to keep brownies fudgy, not cakey. Use room temperature eggs for smooth batter. Melting butter and chocolate together ensures a silky base. Start checking brownies at 28 minutes to avoid overbaking. For extra gooey centers, underbake by 1-2 minutes but watch closely. Use parchment paper for easy removal and clean edges.
