Ingredients:
- For the Butter & Chocolate Base:
- 180g unsalted butter (3/4 cup + 1 tbsp)
- 250g dark chocolate, broken into pieces
- For the Brownie Batter:
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- 100g light brown sugar (1/2 cup, packed)
- 100g granulated sugar (1/4 cup + 3 tbsps)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 100g all-purpose flour (1/2 cup + 2 tbsps)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 50g milk chocolate, chopped (1/4 cup)
- 50g milk chocolate chips (1/4 cup)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Oven and Pan:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Grease an 8x8 inch baking tray and line with parchment paper, allowing extra to hang over the sides for easy removal.
- Brown the Butter:
- Place butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the butter foams, sizzles, and then turns golden brown beneath the foam. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
- Pour the browned butter over the dark chocolate pieces in a bowl, stirring until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Mix the Brownie Batter:
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, brown sugar, and granulated, until the mixture is pale and slightly increased in volume.
- Stir in vanilla.
- Gently fold in the chocolate-butter mixture.
- Sift in the flour and salt, mixing just until combined.
- Fold in the chopped milk chocolate and chocolate chips.
- Bake:
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is set and a toothpick inserted into the center emerges with a few moist crumbs.
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
- Serve:
- Lift the brownies from the pan using the overhanging parchment paper. Cut into squares and serve.
