Chocolate Brownies
Deeply chocolatey, soft in the middle, and just set at the edges. So easy to make, these are the kind of brownies you make on a slow afternoon when the kettle’s already on.
Ingredients
- 170 g salted butter (¾ cup)
- 270 g semi sweet chocolate chips (1½ cups + 1 tbsp)
- 40 g Dutch cocoa powder (¼ cup + 2 tbsp)
- 1 tbsp instant coffee
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- 300 g granulated sugar (1½ cups)
- 120 g all-purpose flour (1 cup)

Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F / 175°C. Grease and line an 8-inch square pan with butter and parchment paper, leaving a little overhang for easy lifting later.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and chocolate together, stirring gently until smooth. Remove from the heat and immediately whisk in the cocoa powder and espresso powder. The mixture will look thick and glossy, exactly what you want.
- In a medium mixing bowl, use a whisk, hand mixer or stand mixer with the whisk attachment to beat the eggs and sugar for about 4 minutes, until pale, thick, and slightly fluffy.
- Slowly whisk the warm chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, taking your time so everything stays smooth.
- Add the flour, whisking just until no dry streaks remain. Don’t overmix, this keeps the brownies tender.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for about 25-30 minutes, until the edges are set and the center still has a slight jiggle
- Let the brownies cool completely before slicing.
Why you’ll love these
These brownies are rich without being heavy, fudgy without being underbaked, and deeply chocolate-forward thanks to a mix of melted chocolate and Dutch-process cocoa. Beating the eggs and sugar gives them that glossy top, while baking just until the center still has a slight wobble keeps everything perfectly soft and cozy.
Cozy Notes
For extra gooey brownies, err on the side of underbaking, every oven is different.
These are incredible on their own, but also lovely slightly warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days (if they last that long).
