Calories: 144kcal
Ingredients
- 125 g butter
- 200 g sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla essence
- 60 g flour
- 60 g cocoa powder unsweetened
- 200 g chocolate chips (150g for melting + 50g for stirring in)
- pinch salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 160°C (fan) / 180°C / Gas Mark 4
- Line a baking tin with baking paper. A 20cm x 20cm tin will work.
- Place 150g of the chocolate chips with the butter in a microwave safe bowl and microwave in 30 second bursts, stirring after each one, until fully melted and smooth. Be careful not to burn the chocolate.
- Whisk the eggs and stir them into the melted chocolate and butter mix followed by the vanilla essence and the pinch of salt, and mix again.
- Add the flour and cocoa powder into the bowl, and fold in with a spoon until everything is thoroughly mixed.
- Stir through the remaining 50g of chocolate chips.
- Pour into the lined baking tin.
- Cook for 20 minutes in the middle of the oven for a fudgy, gooey brownie, or for about 22-23 minutes for a more spongy, cakey brownie (cooking times may vary depending on your oven) so check on them at 20 minutes. The top will be a little crinkly and beginning to crack. Brownies will continue to set as they cool, so don't worry if the centre looks a little soft when you first remove them.
- Leave in the tin for 20 to 30 minutes before lifting out, if you try and remove the brownies before this time they may crumble.
- Slice the brownies into however many portions you want.
