Description
Indulgently creamy brownies made with rich brown butter and topped with flaky sea salt for an unforgettable treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 10 tablespoons (150g) unsalted butter, cut into 10 slices
- 6 ounces (170g) chopped semi-sweet chocolate, good quality
- 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (100g) packed brown sugar, light or dark
- 3 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup (40g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup (60g) all-purpose flour, spoon and leveled
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks (optional)
- Flaky sea salt (optional – for topping)
Instructions
- In a medium saucepot, add butter slices and place onto a stove burner set to medium heat. Stir frequently until the butter melts and turns a light golden brown color, about 5 to 8 minutes.
- Whisk in the chopped chocolate until melted and smooth. Set the mixture aside to cool slightly.
- Combine both sugars and eggs in a large bowl. Using an electric mixer or whisk by hand, whisk together until the sugar is dissolved, around 5 to 7 minutes.
- Add your vanilla, cocoa, and the slightly cooled brown butter mixture to the egg mix. Whisk to combine.
- Mix in the flour, salt, and chocolate chips (if using) until just combined.
- Pour the batter into a prepared baking pan, smoothing it out generously.
- Bake in a preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top is no longer shiny and a skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Cool completely in the pan, then cut into 16 slices. Optionally, sprinkle flaky sea salt on top before serving.
