Print Recipe

Rich, fudgy chocolate brownies with a surprising twist of flaky sea salt on top, creating a perfect balance of sweet and salty flavors in a simple, easy-to-make recipe.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (227 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups (400 g) granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup (75 g) unsweetened cocoa powder (preferably Dutch-processed)
  • 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (170 g) dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate (60-70% cacao)
  • About 1 teaspoon flaky sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease the baking pan or line it with parchment paper, leaving a bit overhang for easy removal later.
  2. Melt the butter gently using a microwave or stovetop, then let it cool slightly until warm but not hot.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until combined; the mixture will be grainy.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract until the batter looks glossy and thick.
  5. In a separate bowl, sift together cocoa powder, flour, and salt.
  6. Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula, stopping once just combined to avoid overmixing.
  7. Fold in the dark chocolate chips or chopped chocolate.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading evenly. Sprinkle flaky sea salt evenly over the top.
  9. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Check at 25 minutes by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs but not wet batter.
  10. Cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes to let the brownies set and make cutting easier.
  11. Lift the brownies out using the parchment paper overhang, cut into squares, and serve.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to avoid cakey brownies; stir until just combined. Use quality dark chocolate and cocoa powder for best flavor. Check baking time carefully to keep fudginess. The flaky sea salt topping is essential for balancing sweetness and enhancing chocolate flavor. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil and use dairy-free chocolate chips. Chilling brownies before cutting helps achieve cleaner edges.
