These chewy brownies are rich, gooey, and full of bold chocolate flavor. With a crackly top and melt-in-your-mouth center, they’re the ultimate brownie indulgence.
115g (½ cup) unsalted butter, melted
¾ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
½ cup all-purpose flour
½ tsp salt
¾ cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)
Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper.
Melt butter and whisk in sugars until glossy.
Add eggs one at a time, then vanilla. Whisk vigorously.
Sift in cocoa powder, flour, and salt. Fold until just combined.
Stir in chocolate chips, reserving a few for the top.
Pour batter into pan and top with remaining chips.
Bake 25–28 minutes until edges are set and center is soft.
Cool completely before slicing.
For cleaner cuts, chill for 30 minutes before slicing.
Add nuts, espresso powder, or caramel for variation.
