Time 1h10m

Yield 9 big brownies

Number Of Ingredients 11

Nonstick baking spray
4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, broken into pieces
2 sticks (16 tablespoons) salted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 cup finely chopped beets, from 8 ounces of cooked beets (see Cook's Note)
1/2 cup toasted walnuts, chopped
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
Confectioners' sugar, to serve

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray an 8-inch square baking pan with nonstick baking spray. Line it with a piece of parchment overhanging the edges (this will help in removing the brownies from the pan) and spray again.
  • Melt the chocolate in a bowl in the microwave or over a double boiler. Set aside to cool slightly.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer using the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar. Beat in the eggs. With the mixer on low speed, drizzle in the melted chocolate. Add the vanilla extract, beets and walnuts and mix. Whisk together the flour and cocoa powder in a small bowl. Add half of the flour to the batter and mix just until combined. Mix in the remaining flour; do not over mix.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. Spread it to even out the surface. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 50 to 55 minutes. Let the brownies cool completely.
  • Using the paper, lift the brownies from the pan. Remove the paper, and then cut the brownies into 9 squares. Dust with confectioners' sugar before serving.

HOW TO MAKE THE BEST BROWNIES RECIPE BY TASTY



How To Make The Best Brownies Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: unsalted butter, good-quality semisweet chocolate, unsweetened dutch process cocoa powder, espresso powder, granulated sugar, dark brown sugar, vanilla extract, kosher salt, large eggs, all-purpose flour, flaky sea salt

Provided by Vaughn Vreeland

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!
