Classic Fudgy Brownies
Feb 10, 2025
Brownies may be a classic, but making them from scratch brings a whole new level of delicious to them. Be sure to splurge on high quality dutch process cocoa and couverture chocolate you can get your hands on. I've linked my favorite brand if you want to try it out. It'll bring another level to your brownie and any chocolate baking game. Mix it up with different toppings like a caramel or tahini swirl, add toasted chopped nuts or cocoa nibs for some crunch, or just enjoy them as they are. This recipe is not heavily dependent on the gluten in the flour for structure, so feel free to swap it out with your favorite gluten free flour mix if you want a gluten free treat.
Ingredients:
1½ cups (260 grams) 68% chocolate, chopped 1 cup + 2 tablespoons (250 grams) unsalted butter
1ā…“ cups (280 grams) sugar
4 large eggs
1 cup (120 grams) all-purpose flour
¼ cup (30 grams) cocoa powder
½ teaspoon (3 grams) salt
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with foil and grease it well.
- In a heatproof bowl, melt the chocolate and butter together over a double boiler, stirring until smooth. Alternatively, melt them in short intervals in the microwave, stirring between each interval.
- In a separate bowl, whip the sugar and eggs together with a whisk or electric mixer until pale and fluffy.
- Gently fold the melted chocolate mixture into the whipped sugar and eggs until combined.
- In another bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the chocolate mixture until no streaks of flour remain.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the surface with an offset spatula.
- Bake for about 25 minutes, or until the center is set, a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, and the top is dry and flaky.
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the foil. Slice into squares and serve.
