Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 225 g (8 oz) dark chocolate, chopped
- 2 eggs
- 56 g (2 oz) butter, salted or unsalted
- 100 g (3.5 oz) caster sugar
- 90 g (3.2 oz) demerara sugar
Dry Ingredients:
- 95 g (3.4 oz) plain (all purpose) flour
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Additional Ingredients:
- 85 g (3 oz) dark or milk chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- Prepare the oven to 160°C (320°F) for fan setting or 170°C (338°F) for conventional oven. Line a baking tray with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Create a double boiler by placing a heatproof bowl over simmering water. Melt dark chocolate and butter together, stirring occasionally until smooth. Remove from heat and mix in vanilla extract.
- Whip eggs and both sugars using an electric hand mixer on high speed until the mixture becomes pale and voluminous, creating a light, fluffy texture.
- Sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, chocolate chips, and salt in a separate bowl to eliminate lumps and ensure even distribution of dry ingredients.
- Carefully fold the melted chocolate mixture into the whipped egg mixture, maintaining the airiness of the batter.
- Gently incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula. Mix minimally to prevent deflating the batter, stopping just as ingredients are combined.
- Drop tablespoon-sized portions of batter onto the prepared baking tray, leaving space between each for spreading. Bake for 12-14 minutes until the tops develop a characteristic crackly surface.
- Optional: Sprinkle sea salt over the freshly baked brookies. Allow to cool on the baking tray for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to complete cooling before serving.
Notes
- Use high-quality dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa content for deeper, richer flavor that elevates the entire browkie experience.
- Fold ingredients gently to maintain air bubbles, ensuring a light yet fudgy texture that’s the hallmark of perfect brookies.
- Allow ingredients like eggs and butter to reach room temperature before mixing to create smoother, more consistent batter that blends effortlessly.
- Swap regular flour with gluten-free alternatives like almond or coconut flour, and use dairy-free chocolate for vegan-friendly brookies without compromising taste.
