Chewy, rich brownies inspired by Starbucks — made with dark chocolate, cocoa, and plenty of chocolate chips for the ultimate bakery-style square.
10 tbsp unsalted butter
4 oz dark chocolate (60–70%), chopped
¾ cup brown sugar
¼ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs + 1 egg yolk
1½ tsp vanilla extract
½ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
½ tsp salt
½ tsp espresso powder (optional)
¾ cup chocolate chips or chunks
Preheat oven to 325°F. Line 8×8 pan with parchment.
Melt butter and chocolate until smooth. Cool slightly.
In another bowl, whisk sugars, eggs, yolk, and vanilla for 1–2 mins.
Slowly add in the melted chocolate mixture.
Sift in flour, cocoa, salt, and espresso powder. Mix gently.
Fold in chocolate chips. Pour into pan and smooth top.
Bake 30–35 mins until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
Cool completely before slicing for clean, chewy brownies.
Store in airtight container up to 4 days. Freeze for 2 months.
