Ingredients
- 95 g ¾ cups plain (all-purpose) flour
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 225 g 1 ¼ cups dark chocolate, chopped
- 56 g ¼ cups butter, salted or unsalted
- 2 eggs room temperature
- 100 g ¾ cups caster or granulated sugar
- 90 g ½ cups Demerara or raw sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 85 g ½ cups dark or milk chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 160ºC (320ºF) with a fan or 170ºC (338ºF) for conventional heating and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- In a heatproof bowl, melt the chopped dark chocolate and butter over simmering water, making sure the bowl doesn’t touch the water. Stir until smooth and glossy, then mix in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, caster sugar, and Demerara sugar on high speed for about 5 minutes until the mixture becomes very light, thick, and fluffy.
- Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt, then fold in the chocolate chips to distribute evenly.
- Gently fold the melted chocolate mixture into the whipped eggs, then carefully fold in the dry ingredients until just combined. The batter should remain thick yet soft enough to scoop.
- Drop tablespoons of batter onto the prepared tray, spacing them at least 2 inches apart. Bake for 12–14 minutes until the tops are crackly but the centers remain fudgy.
- Once baked, optionally sprinkle with sea salt while still warm and let the brookies cool on the tray for 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
