Print Recipe

Rich and fudgy brownies enhanced with the nutty flavors of browned butter, perfect for parties and cozy gatherings.

Ingredients

  • 180g unsalted butter (3/4 cup + 1 tbsp)
  • 250g dark chocolate (1 cup + 1/4 cup + 2 tbsp)
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 100g light brown or dark brown sugar (1/2 cup, packed)
  • 100g granulated sugar (1/4 cup + 3 tbsp)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 100g plain/all-purpose flour (1/2 cup + 2 tbsp)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 50g milk chocolate, chopped (1/4 cup)
  • 50g milk chocolate chips (1/4 cup)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line an 8×8-inch baking tray with parchment.
  2. Cut the butter into pieces and place in a light-colored pan over medium heat. Stir constantly until it turns deep golden-brown and smells nutty. Remove from heat.
  3. Pour the hot brown butter over the dark chocolate and let sit for 60 seconds, then stir until smooth.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with both sugars until slightly thickened. Stir in the vanilla.
  5. Pour the warm chocolate-butter mixture into the egg-sugar mix and stir until glossy and uniform.
  6. Fold in the flour and salt until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Fold in the chopped milk chocolate and milk chocolate chips, then scrape the batter into the prepared pan.
  8. Bake for 35–40 minutes, until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggle but not liquid.
  9. Let cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares.

Notes

For a dairy-free version, use plant-based butter and dairy-free chocolate. Add chopped toasted nuts for less sweetness.
