How to Make Fudgy Chewy Browkies
Ingredients:
- 95 g plain (all-purpose) flour
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 225 g dark chocolate (chopped)
- 56 g butter (salted or unsalted)
- 2 eggs (room temperature)
- 100 g caster or granulated sugar
- 90 g Demerara or raw sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 85 g dark or milk chocolate chips
Directions:
Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 160ºC (320ºF) with a fan or 170ºC (338ºF) for conventional heating. Prepare a baking tray by lining it with parchment paper.
Melt Chocolate and Butter: In a heatproof bowl, combine the chopped dark chocolate and butter. Place this bowl over a pan of simmering water, ensuring the bottom of the bowl doesn’t touch the water. Stir until melted and combined, then mix in the vanilla extract.
Whip Eggs and Sugars: In a separate bowl, use an electric whisk on high speed to beat the caster sugar, demerara sugar, and eggs. Continue whisking until the mixture is light, thick, and fluffy—about 5 minutes.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Add in the chocolate chips to ensure even distribution.
Integrate Chocolate Mixture: Gradually fold the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the whipped eggs and sugars. Stir gently to maintain the airy texture.
Fold in Dry Ingredients: Carefully fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula. Mix only until just combined to keep it light.
Bake the Brookies: Scoop tablespoons of the batter onto the prepared tray, spacing them well apart. Bake for 12-14 minutes, until set and crackly on top.
Cool and Finish: Remove from the oven and sprinkle with sea salt if desired. Let cool on the tray for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
