Categories     Desserts

Yield 24 brownies

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 ½ sticks unsalted butter, plus more, softened, for greasing
8 oz good-quality semisweet chocolate, or bittersweet chocolate, 60-70% cacao, roughly chopped
¾ cup unsweetened dutch process cocoa powder, divided
1 tablespoon espresso powder
2 cups granulated sugar
½ cup dark brown sugar, packed
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 teaspoons kosher salt
6 large eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour
flaky sea salt, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Grease a 9x13-inch (23x33-cm) dark metal pan with softened butter, then line with parchment paper, leaving overhang on all sides. Grease the parchment with softened butter.
  • Combine the chopped chocolate, ¼ cup (30 g) of cocoa powder, and espresso powder in a heatproof liquid measuring cup or medium bowl and set aside.
  • Add the butter to a small saucepan over medium heat and cook until the butter just comes to a vigorous simmer, about 5 minutes, swirling the pan occasionally. Immediately pour the hot butter over the chocolate mixture and let sit for 2 minutes. Whisk until the chocolate is completely smooth and melted, then set aside.
  • Combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, salt, and eggs in a large bowl. Beat with an electric hand mixer on high speed until light and fluffy, about 10 minutes. It will be similar to the texture of very thick pancake batter.
  • With the mixer on, pour in the slightly cooled chocolate and butter mixture and blend until smooth.
  • Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350°F (180°C).
  • Sift in the flour and remaining cocoa powder and use a rubber spatula to gently fold until just combined.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake until lightly puffed on top, about 20 minutes.
  • Remove the baking pan from the oven using oven mitts or kitchen towels, then lightly drop the pan on a flat surface 1-2 times until the brownies deflate slightly. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
  • Return the pan 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, about 20 minutes more. The center of the brownies will seem under-baked, but the brownies will continue to set as they cool.
  • Set the brownies on a cooling rack and cool completely in the pan.
  • Use the parchment paper to lift the cooled brownies out of the pan. Cut into 24 bars and serve immediately.
  • Enjoy!

THE BEST BROWNIES



The Best Brownies image

Everybody says their brownies are the best, but these really are the best. They feature the "holy trinity" of brownie perfection-a crispy, flaky top, chewy edges, and a fudgy center. Serve with a glass of ice cold milk.

Time 1h20m

Yield 9

Number Of Ingredients 7

⅔ cup all-purpose flour
¾ teaspoon kosher salt
3 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
½ cup unsalted butter
1 ¼ cups white sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter an 8-inch square baking dish or pan, then line with parchment paper if desired to make getting the brownies out easier.
  • Mix flour and salt together in a bowl; set aside.
  • Place chopped chocolate and butter into a heatproof bowl and set over a saucepan with 1 inch of very gently simmering water. When the butter and almost all of the chocolate is melted, stir until smooth. Turn off the heat and set aside.
  • Mix sugar and eggs in a mixing bowl with an electric hand mixer until very airy, thick, and creamy, about 5 minutes. Mix in vanilla extract, then slowly drizzle in the melted chocolate mixture, while mixing on high speed.
  • Dump in the flour mixture and mix on low speed just until the flour disappears. Use a spatula to transfer the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread as evenly as possible.
  • Bake in the center of the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out virtually clean, about 30 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Use a spatula to lightly press down the higher parts of the brownie around the edge of the dish. Let cool to room temperature, 20 to 30 minutes, before removing and cutting into 9 pieces.

TREADMILL WORTHY BROWNIES



Treadmill Worthy Brownies image

These brownies have some seriously good chocolate flavor. Definitely worth a spin on the treadmill! They are sweet and decadent but too rich that you can finish a square. The tender and fudge-like brownie is held together by the yummy chocolaty topping. These homemade brownies would be just as good without the topping... but it does make them even better. We opted for the fudge frosting, but the buttercream would be delish too.
