Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup (30g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup (65g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp (1.5g) salt
  • 1/2 cup (90g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tbsp (15g) melted butter

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
  2. Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
  3. In a large microwave-safe bowl, stir together 115g melted butter and 200g granulated sugar until combined.
  4. Whisk in 2 large eggs and 5ml vanilla extract vigorously for about 60 seconds to ensure a shiny crust.
  5. Stir in 30g unsweetened cocoa powder, 65g all-purpose flour, and 1.5g salt. Use a spatula to fold the mixture until just combined; do not overmix.
  6. Fold in 90g semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  7. Grease the prepared pan with 15g melted butter (or non-stick spray) and spread the batter evenly into the pan.
  8. Bake for 22–25 minutes until the edges are set but the center still has a slight jiggle.
  9. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan for at least 30 minutes to allow the structure to set before slicing.
