Ingredients Needed

For the Brookies:

• 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
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 85 g dark or milk chocolate chips

How to Make Fudgy Chewy Brownies (Brookies)

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by setting your oven to 160ºC (320ºF) with a fan or 170ºC (338ºF) for conventional heating. Then, prepare a baking tray by lining it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Melt Chocolate and Butter: In a heatproof bowl, add the chopped dark chocolate and butter. Place this bowl over a pan of simmering water — just make sure the bowl doesn’t touch the water. Stir occasionally until the mixture is completely smooth and combined, then mix in the vanilla extract.
3. Whip Eggs and Sugars: In another medium bowl, use an electric hand whisk on high speed to beat together the caster sugar, Demerara sugar, and eggs. Whisk until the mixture becomes thick, light, and fluffy—this should take about 5 minutes.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Add the chocolate chips to this mixture to ensure they are evenly distributed.
5. Integrate Chocolate Mixture: Carefully fold the melted chocolate and butter blend into the whipped egg and sugar mixture. Be gentle to keep the batter airy.
6. Fold in Dry Ingredients: Next, gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the texture light.
7. Bake the Brookies: Scoop tablespoons of batter onto your prepared baking tray, making sure to leave space between each for spreading. Bake in your preheated oven for about 12-14 minutes, or until the tops are set and crackly.
8. Cool and Finish: Once baked, remove them from the oven and sprinkle with sea salt if desired. Allow them to cool on the baking tray for about 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
