Ingredients

Scale
  • 3/4 cup salted butter, cubed (170 grams before browning, 140 grams after)
  • 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped (113 grams)
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil (56 mL)
  • 3/4 cup cocoa powder (63 grams)
  • 3 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 large egg yolk, at room temperature
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (158 grams)
  • 1 and 1/2 cups powdered sugar (174 grams)
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (65 grams)
  • Pinch of espresso powder (optional)
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350℉ (175℃). Spray an 8×8 metal pan with nonstick spray and line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium saucepan, add the cubed butter over medium heat. Once melted, reduce the heat to medium-low and continue cooking, stirring frequently until it turns a deep golden shade. Stir in the chopped semi-sweet chocolate until fully melted and whisk in the vegetable oil and cocoa powder.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolk, and granulated sugar. Whisk in the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt.
  4. Slowly whisk in the chocolate mixture. Fold in the flour and optional espresso powder, then add the chocolate chips.
  5. Pour the batter into your prepared pan and bake for 29-32 minutes. The center should have a slight wobble and a toothpick inserted should have a few thick crumbs.
  6. Let the brownies cool in the pan on a wire rack for about 1 hour & 20 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Browning butter requires close attention; it can burn quickly. Use high-quality chocolate for best results.
