Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, (chopped)
  • 1/4 cup salted butter ((57g))
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar ((100g))
  • 2 Tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg, (room temperature)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour, (spooned and leveled (41g))
  • 2 Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder ((10g))
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • Flaky sea salt, (for sprinkling on top (optional))

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper sling.
  • Melt chocolate and butter together in a microwave-safe bowl for 30-60 seconds in the microwave. Stir until smooth. Add the granulated and brown sugar, then whisk until combined.
  • Add egg and vanilla and whisk vigorously by hand for 1 minute or switch to an electric mixer. This helps develop the signature thin crackly crust on top of brownies.
  • Stir in flour, cocoa powder, and salt with a spatula or wooden spoon just until combined. Do not overmix. Stir in chocolate chips.
  • Transfer the brownie batter to the prepared pan and smooth into an even layer. Bake for 20-24 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few crumbs. Do not overbake.
