Servings: 8 Brownies
Ingredients
- 4 ounces semisweet chocolate chips or semisweet
- baking bar
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
- 1 large egg
- 6 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 4 tablespoons all purpose flour
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325℉ and adjust the oven rack to the middle position. Prep an 8x 4" loaf pan by lining the bottom and two sides with parchment paper, leaving enough paper hanging over the sides to make a sling.
- Melt the chocolate and butter for 1 minute in the microwave, adding 15 additional seconds if needed to get the mixture melted and smooth.
- While the chocolate is melting, whisk together the sugar and egg until smooth and pale yellow, about 30 seconds.
- Add the cocoa powder to the warm chocolate and whisk until smooth.
- Add the vanilla and salt to the chocolate mixture and whisk to combine.
- Pour the chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and whisk until smooth and shiny.
- Add the flour, and using a rubber spatula, fold in the flour until just incorporated into the batter.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes at 325℉ until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with fudgy crumbs, not clean.
- Allow the brownies to cool for 2 hours before slicing.
Notes
This recipe can be made in a 6" cake pan as well. If using a cake pan, just line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper, lightly spray it, and proceed with the recipe as written.
