Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate and butter.
- Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until both the chocolate and butter are fully melted and combined.
- Let the mixture cool slightly before proceeding to the next step.
- In a separate mixing bowl, add the eggs and sugar.
- Whisk together until well combined and slightly frothy. You can do this using a hand whisk or an electric mixer on low speed.
- Gradually add the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the egg and sugar mixture.
- Stir gently until everything is well combined.
- In another bowl, sift together the flour and cocoa powder to remove any lumps.
- Gradually fold these dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can make the brownies tough.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs (avoid overbaking for fudgier brownies).
- Allow the brownies to cool completely in the baking pan on a wire rack.
- Once cooled, cut into squares and serve.
Tips:
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing and consistency.
- Use good quality dark chocolate to enhance the flavor of the brownies.
- Don’t overmix the batter once you add the flour. Overmixing can lead to dense and tough brownies.
- Check the brownies a few minutes before the timer goes off. Insert a toothpick into the center; if it comes out with a few moist crumbs, the brownies are perfect.
- Let the brownies cool in the pan before cutting. This helps them set properly and makes for cleaner slices.
With just six ingredients, this chocolate brownie recipe proves that you don't need a lot of components to make a truly delicious dessert. Follow these simple steps, and in no time, you’ll be enjoying fudgy, scrumptious brownies that are sure to delight everyone who takes a bite. Happy baking!
