Ingredients
- 95 g ¾ cup plain (all-purpose) flour
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 225 g 1 ¼ cups dark chocolate, chopped
- 56 g ¼ cup butter, salted or unsalted
- 2 eggs at room temperature
- 100 g ¾ cup caster sugar
- 90 g ½ cup demerara sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 85 g ½ cup dark or milk chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 160ºC (320ºF) with a fan or 170ºC (338ºF) for conventional heating. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and set it aside.
Melt Chocolate and Butter:
- In a heatproof bowl, combine the chopped dark chocolate and butter. Place the bowl over a pan of simmering water, ensuring the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water. Stir occasionally until the chocolate and butter are fully melted and well combined. Once melted, stir in the vanilla extract.
Whip Eggs and Sugars:
- In a separate medium bowl, use an electric hand whisk on high speed to beat the caster sugar, light brown sugar, and eggs. Continue whisking until the mixture becomes light, thick, and fluffy.
Combine Dry Ingredients:
- In another bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, chocolate chips, and salt. Sifting helps eliminate any lumps and ensures the dry ingredients are well mixed.
Integrate Chocolate Mixture:
- Slowly fold the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the whipped eggs and sugars. Stir gently to maintain the airiness of the whipped eggs.
Fold in Dry Ingredients:
- Carefully fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula. Be sure not to deflate the batter. Mix only until just combined to keep the batter light.
Bake the Brookies:
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of batter onto the prepared baking tray, spacing them well apart to allow for spreading. Bake in the preheated oven for 12–14 minutes, or until the brookies are set and have a crackly top.
Cool and Finish:
- Remove the brookies from the oven and sprinkle with sea salt immediately, if desired. Let them cool on the baking tray for about 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
