Ultra Fudgy Brown Butter Brownies

Print Recipe

Ultra fudgy brownies made with browned butter and semi-sweet chocolate, featuring a rich, decadent texture with crinkly tops and pockets of melted chocolate chips throughout.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3/4 cup salted butter, cubed (170g before browning, 140g after)
  • 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped (113g)
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil (56 mL)
  • 3/4 cup cocoa powder (63g)
  • 3 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 large egg yolk, at room temperature
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (158g)
  • 1 and 1/2 cups powdered sugar (174g)
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (65g)
  • Pinch of espresso powder (optional)
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (177g)

Instructions

  1. Brown the butter: Melt 3/4 cup salted butter in a saucepan over medium heat until it turns golden brown with a nutty aroma. Add 4 ounces chopped semi-sweet chocolate and 1/4 cup vegetable oil, stirring until completely melted. Whisk in 3/4 cup cocoa powder until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
  2. Make the batter: In a large bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs and 1 large egg yolk with 3/4 cup granulated sugar for about 1-2 minutes until sugar granules are no longer visible.
  3. Add powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt to the egg mixture and whisk until combined.
  4. Pour the warm (but not piping hot) chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and whisk constantly until well combined.
  5. Fold in 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, a pinch of espresso powder (if using), and 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips until just combined.
  6. Spread the batter into a prepared 9×13-inch baking pan lined with aluminum foil.
  7. Bake at 350°F for 25-30 minutes until edges are set but the center still jiggles slightly.
  8. Cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.

Notes

For best results, use room temperature eggs as they incorporate more easily into the batter. The chocolate mixture should be warm but not piping hot before whisking into the eggs to prevent them from cooking. Cooling the brownies completely ensures proper fudgy texture and makes them easier to cut cleanly.
