Description
Indulgent brown butter brownies with a rich, fudgy center and glossy, crinkled top.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup salted butter, cubed (170 grams before browning)
- 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
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray an 8×8 metal pan with nonstick spray and line it with parchment paper.
- Brown the butter in a saucepan over medium heat until it turns a deep golden color and smells nutty, about 3–6 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Mix in the chopped chocolate, vegetable oil, and cocoa powder until smooth. Let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolk, and granulated sugar for 1–2 minutes until dissolved. Add powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt until glossy.
- Whisk the chocolate mixture into the egg mixture until combined. Fold in flour and espresso powder just until no dry streaks remain, then add chocolate chips.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 29 to 32 minutes, until edges are set and center wobbles slightly.
- Cool on a wire rack for about 1 hour and 20 minutes before slicing.
Notes
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 3–4 days. Reheat gently for best texture.
