🍫 Chocolate Brownies

Rich, fudgy, and perfectly gooey — easy to make and impossible to resist

Prep Time 15 mins
Bake Time 25–30 mins
Chill Time 30 mins
Yields 16 squares
Difficulty Easy
Oven 180°C / 160°C fan

Ingredients

  • 200g dark chocolate (approx. 50–70% cocoa)
  • 175g unsalted butter
  • 300g caster sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 100g plain flour
  • 40g cocoa powder
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • Pinch of fine salt
  • Optional: 100g chocolate chips or chopped nuts

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C / 160°C fan / Gas 4. Line a 20cm (8-inch) square tin with baking paper.
  2. Break chocolate into pieces. Place in a heatproof bowl with the butter. Melt gently — either over a pan of simmering water or in short bursts in the microwave — stirring until smooth. Leave to cool slightly.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the sugar and eggs together with an electric whisk for about 3–4 minutes until pale, thick, and creamy.
  4. Pour the cooled melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and gently fold together with a spatula until combined.
  5. Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Fold gently until just mixed — don't over-stir or brownies will be tough. Fold in chocolate chips or nuts if using.
  6. Pour the batter into the lined tin and spread evenly. Bake for 25–30 minutes.
  7. Test with a skewer — it should come out with moist crumbs, not clean! If wet batter sticks, bake 2–3 minutes more. Don't overbake — gooey centre is what makes them perfect!
  8. Leave to cool completely in the tin before cutting — they firm up as they cool. Cut into 16 squares once cold.

💡 Tip: For extra fudgy brownies, use 50% cocoa chocolate and take them out when the centre still looks slightly soft. They will set as they cool! Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
