Print Recipe

These brownies feature a rich, fudgy texture with a sophisticated nutty flavor from browned butter, perfect for any chocolate lover.

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup salted butter, cubed
  • 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 3/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 3 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 large egg yolk, at room temperature
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 and 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • Pinch of espresso powder (optional)
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 metal pan with parchment and spray lightly with nonstick spray.
  2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the cubed butter, stirring constantly until it darkens and smells nutty.
  3. Remove from heat when deep golden brown, pour into a heatproof bowl, and stir in chopped chocolate until melted.
  4. Whisk in vegetable oil and cocoa powder until even, then let cool slightly.
  5. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, extra yolk, and granulated sugar until glossy. Add powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt, whisking until smooth.
  6. Pour warm chocolate-butter mix into the egg mixture and fold to combine. Add flour and espresso powder; fold until no dry streaks remain. Gently fold in chocolate chips.
  7. Scrape batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 29 to 32 minutes until the edges set and center has a slight wobble.
  8. Cool on a wire rack for at least 1 hour before slicing.

Notes

Use good-quality cocoa and chocolate for the best results. For gluten-free, swap flour for an equal-weight gluten-free blend.
