The Best Chocolatey Brownies
When I was pregnant with my son, all I wanted was brownies. Everywhere we went, I had a brownie. The more I ate, the pickier I became. I liked the fudgy ones that seemed a tad underdone. I also love the crackle tops. And the brownie needs to be chocolatey, not sugary. Well, these do not disappoint. Once I made them, I never turned back. Oh I still try a brownie every chance I get. But this recipe is my absolute favorite.
You will need ...
- Unsalted Butter, 1/2 Cup
- Unsweetened Chocolate, 7 ounces
- Avocado Oil, 3 T
- Granulated Sugar, 1 Cup
- Brown Sugar, 1 Cup
- Eggs, 3
- All Purpose Flour, 3/4 Cup
- Baking Powder, 1/4 tsp
- Salt, 1/2 tsp
Step One
Chop up the chocolate. Don’t spend too much time doing this. But, the smaller the pieces, the quicker the chocolate will melt.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
I like making my brownies in a cupcake tin. Its is just easier to portion out. Plus, it makes more edges – which I love. You could use a liner if you choose, but I just grease the tin generously and the brownies pop right out.
Place the chocolate, butter, an oil in a glass bowl over a pot of shallow simmering water. Cook on the lowest setting until the chocolate and the butter melt. Once they look melted, remove from the heat and gently stir them together. Let sit for 10 minutes.
In the bowl of a stand-up mixer, combine the eggs and sugars. Whisk on medium speed for about 3 minutes. Mix on high for another 2 minutes. The end result should be light in color and fluffy.
Remove the bowl from the mixer. Pour in the flour, salt, and baking powder. Using a spatula, fold the ingredients in until combined.
Step Six
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan or dish. Be sure the pan is well greased so the brownies will come out easier later. Bake in the 350 oven for about 30-40 minutes, depending on your oven. Let cool in the pan for about five minutes, then remove and let cool on a wire rack. Enjoy!
The brownies should keep in an airtight container on the counter for about 3-5 days. And yes, they can be frozen. And they’re just as good out of the freezer!
