How to Make Fudgy Chewy Browkies

Ingredients

• 95 g plain (all-purpose) flour
• 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 225 g dark chocolate (chopped)
• 56 g butter (salted or unsalted)
• 2 eggs (room temperature)
• 100 g caster or granulated sugar
• 90 g Demerara or raw sugar (*see notes)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 85 g dark or milk chocolate chips

Directions

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 160ºC (320ºF) with a fan or 170ºC (338ºF) for conventional heating. Prepare a baking tray by lining it with parchment paper.
2. Melt Chocolate and Butter: In a heatproof bowl, combine the chopped dark chocolate and butter. Place this bowl over a pan of simmering water, ensuring the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Stir occasionally until the chocolate and butter are fully melted and mixed. Stir in the vanilla extract.
3. Whip Eggs and Sugars: In a separate medium bowl, use an electric hand whisk on high speed to beat the caster sugar, demerara sugar, and eggs. Continue whisking until the mixture becomes very light, thick, and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt, then add the chocolate chips. This helps ensure there are no lumps and that the dry ingredients are evenly mixed.
5. Integrate Chocolate Mixture: Gradually fold the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the whipped eggs and sugars. Stir gently to keep the airiness of the whipped eggs.
6. Fold in Dry Ingredients: Carefully fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula, being cautious not to deflate the mixture. Mix only until just combined to keep the batter light.
7. Bake the Brookies: Scoop tablespoons of batter onto the prepared baking tray, spacing them well apart to allow for spreading. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes or until the brookies are set and crackly on top.
8. Cool and Finish: Remove from the oven and sprinkle with sea salt immediately, if desired. Let them cool on the baking tray for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.

How to Serve Fudgy Chewy Browkies

Serve your Fudgy Chewy Browkies warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side for an extra indulgent treat. They are also delicious on their own, with a drizzle of chocolate sauce or a sprinkle of icing sugar.

How to Store Fudgy Chewy Browkies

Store your Brookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you’d like to keep them fresh for a longer time, you can freeze them for up to 2 months. Just make sure to place them in a freezer-safe bag or container.

Tips to Make Fudgy Chewy Browkies

• Ensure your eggs are at room temperature for better mixing.
• Don’t overmix the batter after adding the dry ingredients to keep the Brookies light and chewy.
• Experiment with different types of chocolate chips, such as white chocolate or peanut butter chips, for variety.

Variation

You can add nuts, like chopped walnuts or pecans, to the batter for added crunch and flavor. If you prefer a nut-free option, feel free to skip this.

FAQs

Can I use milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate?
Yes, you can use milk chocolate if you prefer a sweeter taste. Adjust the amount of sugar accordingly.

Can I make these ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the batter and keep it in the fridge for up to 24 hours before baking.

Are Brookies gluten-free?
Unfortunately, this recipe uses all-purpose flour, so it is not gluten-free. You can try using a gluten-free flour blend as a substitute.
