Buzzfeed’s Tasty Ultimate Brownies Recipe
The ultimate brownies recipe is fudgy and gooey with a super crackly top.
Servings: 12 Pieces
Calories: 194kcal
Ingredients
- ⅔ Cups Butter, Melted (150g)
- ½ Cup and 2 Tbsp. Dark Chocolate (115g)
- ⅓ Cup Dutch Process Cocoa (31g)
- 2 teaspoon Espresso Powder
- 3 Large Eggs
- 1 Cup Sugar (200g)
- ¼ Cup Dark Brown Sugar (60g)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- ½ Cup All Purpose Flour (60g)
Instructions
- Grease a 9"x9" baking pan butter, then line with baking paper, leaving overhang on all sides. Set aside.
- Combine the chopped chocolate, 2 Tbsp. of cocoa, and espresso powder in a medium sized bowl and set aside.
- Melt the butter over a medium heat and cook until the butter is melted and hot. Pour the hot butter straight over the chocolate mixture and let sit for 2 minutes. Mix until the chocolate is completely smooth and melted, then set aside.
- Combine the sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract and eggs in a large bowl. Beat with an electric hand mixer on high speed until light and fluffy, about 10 minutes. It will triple in size.
- Beat the chocolate mixture through the egg mixture.
- Fold through the flour, remaining cocoa and salt until just combined.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan. Bake until lightly puffed on top, (around 20 minutes.)
- Remove the brownies from the oven, then drop the pan on a flat surface 1-2 times until the brownies deflate. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt (optional).
- Return to the oven and bake until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of the brownies comes out fudgy but the edges look cooked through, around another 20 minutes.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan and then lift them out and slice!
