Fudgy Chocolate Brownies
Yield: 12 servings
Fudgy chocolate brownies are super fudgy and easy to make. The deep chocolate flavors comes from dark cocoa powder and melted bittersweet chocolate. In less than an hour, you will have delicious, homemade dark chocolate brownies that are impossible to resist.
Equipment
- Stand mixer or electric hand mixer
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 ¼ cups chopped bittersweet or semisweet chocolate or chocolate chips
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 3 eggs room temperature
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp espresso powder
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- ½ cup dark cocoa powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F. Prepare an 8x8 baking pan with cooking spray and parchment paper. The parchment paper should go up the sides of the pan so the brownies are easily lifted out of the pan.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine unsalted butter and bittersweet/semisweet chocolate chips. Microwave in 30 second intervals, mixing in between, until the chocolate and butter are melted and fully combined.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, salt, and espresso powder. Using an electric hand mixer, mix on low speed until the ingredients combine and then turn the mixer to high speed and whip for 2 to 3 minutes until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Slowly drizzle in the chocolate mixture, mixing on low speed until the chocolate is fully incorporated with the egg mixture.
- Add in the flour and dark cocoa powder. Mix on low speed until the dry ingredients are fully incorporated with the wet ingredients. Do not overmix. Use a spatula to scrape the sides of the bowl to ensure that all the ingredients are well combined.
- Pour the brownie batter into your prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for approximately 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the brownies comes out with wet crumbs and not batter.
- Cool the brownies in the pan for 10 minutes. Remove the brownies from the pan by lifting on the parchment paper and transfer to a wire rack. Allow the brownies to continue to cool to room temperature.
- Cut the brownies into squares based on the size that you want. Clean the knife with a paper towel in between cuts to ensure a clean cut each time.
