Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 8 oz. bittersweet chocolate (I used Ghirardelli 60% cacao baking chips)
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 5 large eggs
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2/3 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 13x9 inch baking pan and set aside.
- In a 3-quart saucepan, melt butter and chocolate over low heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
- Once chocolate mixture is cool, whisk in the sugar and vanilla. Whisk in eggs, one at a time, until combined and smooth.
- In a separate bowl sift together cocoa powder, flour, and salt. Combine flour mixture with chocolate mixture and whisk thoroughly.
- Spread brownie batter into prepared pan and bake for 25-35 minutes. Allow to cool before cutting. Enjoy!
Notes
- What pan works best: A 9×13 pan is what I prefer to use for best results. You can also use a smaller baking pan for thicker brownies, but the baking time will need to increase.
- Topping: These brownies taste phenomenal without any toppings, but a little powdered sugar dusted on top is a nice way to add a little pizazz.
- How to store: once the brownies are completely cool, cover tightly with cling wrap or place them in an airtight container and store on the countertop for up to five days.
- Gluten free option: In order to make these brownies gluten free, all you need to do is swap out the all purpose flour for your favorite gluten-free flour. I would recommend one of the blends from either Bob’s Red Mill or King Arthur Flour.
- Freezer Option: Prepare as directed and allow to cool completely. Either slice the brownies or leave in the baking dish (so long as it's freezer-safe!) then cover tightly with both plastic wrap and aluminum foil. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw the brownies overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
