Brown Butter Brownies
If you’ve never tried Brown Butter Brownies, you are in for a fudgy, delicious treat with a crackle top and a rich, moist center.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Continue cooking until it foams and turns a golden brown color, about 5-8 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs until smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the cooled brown butter to the sugar and egg mixture, mixing until well combined.
- Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- If using, fold in the chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the brownies to cool in the pan before slicing into squares.
