Ingredients:

1 cup dark chocolate
230g
1/2 cup butter
110g
1 tsp vanilla extract
4g
1 cup brown sugar
230g
2 eggs
100g
1 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
120g
1 tsp baking powder
5g
1 tsp salt
5g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch (20x20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Melt Chocolate and Butter:
In a heatproof bowl, combine the dark chocolate and butter. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method) and stir occasionally until both are completely melted and smooth. Remove the bowl from heat and let it cool slightly.
3. Prepare the Batter:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted chocolate and butter mixture with the vanilla extract. Add the brown sugar and mix until fully combined.
4. Add Eggs:
Crack the eggs into the mixture one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Continue to whisk until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
5. Combine Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
6. Pour into Pan:
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with the spatula.
7. Bake:
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs but not wet batter. The brownies will continue to set as they cool.
8. Cool and Serve:
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cool, lift the brownies out using the parchment paper or gently invert them onto a cutting board. Cut into squares and serve.

Tips:

- Make sure to use high-quality dark chocolate for the best flavor.

- Let the butter and chocolate cool slightly after melting to avoid cooking the eggs when they're added.

- For extra fudgy brownies, slightly under-bake them, as brownies continue to cook after being removed from the oven.

- Lining your baking pan with parchment paper makes it easier to remove the brownies once they are baked.

- Add a handful of chocolate chips or nuts to the batter for added texture and flavor.

Enjoy your delicious homemade chocolate brownies with a cold glass of milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. These brownies are easy to make and provide a delightful chocolate experience with every bite. Share them with family and friends, or savor them all to yourself!
