White Chocolate Brownies
Description
White Chocolate Brownies blend melted butter and chopped white chocolate with granulated sugar and eggs, whipped to a pale yellow for lightness. Flour, salt, and baking powder are folded in to form a batter that supports a tender yet dense texture. The combination of chopped white chocolate and white chocolate chips layered in the batter contributes varying pockets of sweetness and a creamy mouthfeel.
Baking at 325°F in a parchment-lined pan results in brownies that hold their shape but retain moist crumbs inside. Allowing the brownies to cool completely before slicing prevents them from appearing underbaked or too gooey in the center.
These brownies can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for several days. Using a metal pan rather than glass can ensure more even baking and avoid extended bake times. The recipe suggests that the best results come from using quality white chocolate bars and provides substitution tips for chips or additional chocolate bars.
Ingredients
- 10 Tablespoons butter cut into pieces, unsalted
- 6 oz white chocolate like Ghirardelli or Lindt, chopped, premium bar
- 1 ¼ cups granulated sugar
- 2 large egg + 1 large egg yolk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325F (165C) and line a 9x9” baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- Combine butter and chopped white chocolate pieces in a microwave safe bowl. Heat in 20-second increments, stirring in between, until melted and smooth.
- In a separate bowl, combine sugar, eggs, and egg yolk and whisk vigorously until pale yellow (about 30 seconds, you can also use an electric mixer on high speed for about 15 seconds).
- Stir in vanilla extract then add chocolate mixture and stir until completely combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and baking powder. Stir into white chocolate mixture until thoroughly combined.
- Use a spatula to fold in chocolate chips and spread evenly into prepared baking pan.
- Transfer to center rack of 325F (165C) oven and bake for 42 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with moist crumbs.
- Allow to cool before slicing and serving (otherwise they may appear underbaked/gooey in the center, if you don't mind this then feel free to disregard!).
Notes
- Use quality white chocolate bars for melting to achieve the best texture and flavor.
- Allow the brownies to cool fully before slicing to prevent a gooey center appearance.
- Metal baking pans provide more reliable baking times than glass pans.
- Store brownies airtight at room temperature for up to five days.
- Additional white chocolate bars can substitute for chocolate chips if preferred.
