The Most Amazing Brownies (Baking Chocolate Version)
Description
This brownie batter combines melted salted butter and melted baking chocolate with granulated sugar for sweetness and richness. Eggs and vanilla extract add moisture and flavor, while salt and baking powder support structure and leavening. Flour is incorporated last to avoid overmixing and maintain a tender texture.
Baked at 350°F for 30 minutes in a well-greased 9x13 glass pan, the brownies develop a fudgy interior with crisp edges. Variations include increasing butter and substituting cocoa powder for baking chocolate, which requires a smaller pan and longer baking time for thicker brownies.
The brownies can be enjoyed warm or cooled and stored at room temperature. Different pan sizes affect thickness and baking time, with smaller pans resulting in thicker brownies that need more baking.
Ingredients
- 10 tablespoons butter melted, salted
- 6 ounces baking chocolate melted
- 2¼ cups granulated sugar
- 4 egg
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and spray a 9x13 glass pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to mix together melted butter, melted chocolate, and sugar.
- Add in the eggs, and vanilla and mix until combined.
- Add in salt, baking powder, and flour and mix until just combined.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven when done. Serve warm or store at room temperature.
Notes
- Increasing the butter to 1 cup and substituting 1¼ cups cocoa powder for baking chocolate yields a variation with a slightly different texture.
- Using smaller pans like 9x9, 8x8, or 11x7 inches produces thicker brownies that require 45-50 minutes baking time.
