Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (50g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup (65g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp (1.5g) salt
  • 1/2 cup (90g) chocolate chips

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
  2. In a large microwave-safe mixing bowl, melt the butter until liquid and hot. Stir the cocoa powder into the hot butter until smooth to bloom the cocoa.
  3. Add the granulated sugar to the mixture and whisk. Incorporate the eggs and vanilla extract, then whisk vigorously for 2 full minutes until the batter is glossy and slightly thickened.
  4. Gently fold in the all-purpose flour and salt using a silicone spatula until just combined. Do not overmix. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 22–25 minutes. The brownies are done when the edges are set and the top is crackled, but the center still has a slight wobble.
  6. Allow brownies to cool completely in the pan before lifting out by the parchment paper and slicing into 16 squares.
