Ingredients
- 1 cup melted butter
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 cup dark brown sugar
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 4 eggs, large
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cocoa powder, special dark
- 1 tablespoon instant espresso powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cup dark chocolate chunks
Chocolate Ganache
- 1 cup dark chocolate (cut into small bits)
- 1/3 cup heavy cream, room temp
- 1 tablespoon butter, softened
- finishing salt (for topping the fully cooked brownies)
Directions
|
|
Preheat oven to 350. Grease an 8x8 baking dish or line with parchment paper. |
|
|
In large bowl, mix together melted butter, oil, sugars. Add eggs and vanilla and mix well, scraping the bottom and sides of the bowl as you go. |
|
|
Sift together the flour, salt, and dark cocoa powder. Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring carefully until just mixed. Be careful not to over-mix. Fold in 3/4 of the chocolate chunks. |
|
|
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading evenly. Then top with final chocolate chunks. |
|
|
Bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and place the pan onto cooling rack. |
|
|
While the brownies are cooling, prepare the chocolate topping. Melt chocolate in a bowl for 1 minute, stopping and stirring every 20 seconds. Add the cream and butter to the melted butter and stir well. |
|
|
Once the brownies have cooled a bit, pour the melted chocolate mixture over the brownies and smooth out with offset spatula. Once the topping has set a bit, top with finishing salt. |
Note
Do not cut the brownies until they are fully cooled. Using a butter knife or even a plastic knife will create cleaner lines in your brownies and will prevent a lot of the pulling that results in messy brownies.
