Ingredients
Scale
- 95 g (¾ cup) all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 225 g (1¼ cups) dark chocolate, chopped
- 56 g (¼ cup) butter, salted or unsalted
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 100 g (¾ cup) caster or granulated sugar
- 90 g (½ cup) demerara or raw sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 85 g (½ cup) dark or milk chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 160ºC (320ºF) for fan ovens or 170ºC (338ºF) for conventional ones. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- In a heatproof bowl, combine the chopped dark chocolate and butter. Melt over a double boiler, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, beat the caster sugar, demerara sugar, and eggs on high speed for about 5 minutes until the mixture becomes thick, pale, and fluffy.
- Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Gently fold the melted chocolate mixture into the whipped eggs and sugars.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and fold gently with a spatula until just combined.
- Scoop tablespoons of batter onto the prepared tray, leaving space between each brookie.
- Bake for 12–14 minutes until the tops are shiny and crackly but the centers remain soft.
- Sprinkle with sea salt if desired. Cool on the tray for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Add chopped walnuts or pecans for extra crunch.
- A teaspoon of espresso powder enhances the chocolate flavor.
- Chill the dough for 20 minutes before baking for thicker brookies.
- For a vegan version, use vegan butter and flax eggs.
- Underbake slightly for the ultimate fudgy texture.
