Servings: 9 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it with non-stick spray.
- In a medium bowl, sift together the unsweetened cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set this bowl aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and melted butter until smooth and combined.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, making sure each one is fully incorporated before adding the next. Then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula. Stop mixing as soon as the dry ingredients disappear.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips to distribute them evenly throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into your prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow your Hot Chocolate Brownies to cool completely in the pan on a cooling rack before slicing. Serve alone or with a scoop of ice cream if desired.
