Ingredients
95 g (¾ cups) 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 cups) butter, salted or unsalted
2 eggs (room temperature)
100 g (¾ cups) caster or granulated sugar
90 g (½ cups) Demerara or raw sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
85 g (½ cups) dark or milk chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 160ºC (320ºF) with a fan or 170ºC (338ºF) for conventional heating. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Melt chocolate and butter: In a heatproof bowl, combine the chopped dark chocolate and butter. Place the bowl over a simmering pan of water, ensuring the bowl doesn’t touch the water. Stir occasionally until the chocolate and butter melt together, then remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
- Whip eggs and sugars: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the caster sugar, Demerara sugar, and eggs using an electric hand whisk. Whisk on high speed until the mixture becomes thick, light, and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
- Combine dry ingredients: In another bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the chocolate chips to ensure they are evenly distributed.
- Incorporate the chocolate mixture: Gradually fold the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the whipped egg and sugar mixture, making sure not to deflate the batter.
- Fold in dry ingredients: Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula. Mix only until just combined to keep the batter light and airy.
- Bake the brookies: Using a tablespoon, scoop portions of batter onto the prepared baking tray, spacing them well apart. Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the brookies are set and crackly on top.
- Cool and finish: Immediately sprinkle with sea salt, if desired. Allow the brookies to cool on the baking tray for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For extra crunch, add chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans into the batter.
- Swap dark chocolate for milk or white chocolate for a sweeter variation.
- Swirl in some caramel or peanut butter for a fun twist before baking.
- To make it dairy-free, use dairy-free chocolate and vegan butter.
- Spice it up with a pinch of cinnamon or chili powder for a spicy kick.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature or freeze for up to 3 months.
- Reheat by microwaving for 10-15 seconds to restore their chewy texture.
