Servings: 9
Ingredients
- 1 stick Butter Salted or Unsalted
- 1/2 cup Chocolate Chips
- 1 cup White Sugar
- 1/4 cup Brown Sugar
- 2 Eggs
- 1 tsp Vanilla
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/2 cup All Purpose Flour
- 1/2 cup Cocoa Powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Melt your butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook the butter until fragrant and brown in color. While the butter is browning measure and mix the salt, flour, and cocoa powder in a small bowl and set aside. Pour the butter into a large heat-proof bowl and add the chocolate chips to melt.
- Add the brown sugar and white sugar to the bowl and mix well, the mixture will have a grainy texture. Add in the eggs and vanilla and stir until combined.
- Stir in the dry ingredients (salt, flour, and cocoa powder). Mix the batter very well to ensure the butter does not separate. Make about 50 rotations (I know that sounds like a lot but it isn't bad).
- Pour the batter into a parchment-lined 8x8 baking dish and bake for 25 minutes. These brownies are fudgy, be careful not to overcook them. Let the brownies cool and enjoy!
Notes
These brown butter brownies contain minimal flour and no leavening agents, making them extremely fudgy, be careful not to overcook and dry them out. I mean it when I say you need to stir 50 times, this will ensure the butter is emulsified and doesn't separate. Feel free to make the brownies in a mixer.
