DARK CHOCOLATE BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F and grease an 8x12-inch baking pan, then line it with parchment paper and set aside.
• Combine oil, melted butter, and sugars in a medium-sized bowl, then beat in the vanilla and eggs for 1 or 2 minutes until the batter lightens in color.
• Sift in cocoa powder, flour, and salt, then fold in the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overbeat.
• Add ¾ of the chocolate chips into your batter, and then pour the batter into the baking pan and smooth the top. Spread the remaining chocolate chips over the top and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. An inserted toothpick should come out a little dirty.
• Let cool in the pan for 15 to 20 minutes, and after that, remove from the pan and allow them to cool to room temperature before slicing. Enjoy!

DARK CHOCOLATE BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 9 x 13inch baking pan with cooking spray.
• Melt the chocolate and butter in a double boiler or heatproof bowl set over a pot of barely simmering water, stirring occasionally.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa, salt, and baking soda.
• In a large bowl whisk the eggs and sugar until smooth. Add the yogurt, oil and vanilla and whisk to combine. Add the chocolate-butter mixture and whisk until blended. Add the flour mixture and mix until just moistened.
• Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and sprinkle with nuts if using. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until a wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Cut into 24 squares.

DARK CHOCOLATE INDULGENT BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 F and grease an 8x8 baking pan.
• Heat 6 oz of chocolate, butter, sugar, and water over low heat until melted and combined. Stir constantly. I do this with a small glass bowl placed over a small sauce pan which contains water to steam the bowl from underneath. Some like to do this step in the microwave. Stir every 30 seconds if you choose the microwave method and watch carefully toward the end so the chocolate doesn't burn.
• Pour this mixture into a larger bowl and cool slightly. You don't want scrambled eggs in your brownies!
• When chocolate mixture has cooled enough add in the eggs one at a time mixing thoroughly.
• Stir in vanilla, flour, and salt. Mix well.
• Add remaining 4 oz of chocolate and nuts if desired.
• Pour batter into prepared baking pan and cook for 30 to 35 minutes. Cool before cutting.

BEST EVER CHOCOLATE BROWNIES RECIPE

Steps:

• Cut 185g unsalted butter into small cubes and tip into a medium bowl. Break 185g dark chocolate into small pieces and drop into the bowl.
• Fill a small saucepan about a quarter full with hot water, then sit the bowl on top so it rests on the rim of the pan, not touching the water. Put over a low heat until the butter and chocolate have melted, stirring occasionally to mix them.
• Remove the bowl from the pan. Alternatively, cover the bowl loosely with cling film and put in the microwave for 2 minutes on High. Leave the melted mixture to cool to room temperature.
• While you wait for the chocolate to cool, position a shelf in the middle of your oven and turn the oven on to 180C/160C fan/gas 4.
• Using a shallow 20cm square tin, cut out a square of non-stick baking parchment to line the base. Tip 85g plain flour and 40g cocoa powder into a sieve held over a medium bowl. Tap and shake the sieve so they run through together and you get rid of any lumps.
• Chop 50g white chocolate and 50g milk chocolate into chunks on a board.
• Break 3 large eggs into a large bowl and tip in 275g golden caster sugar. With an electric mixer on maximum speed, whisk the eggs and sugar. They will look thick and creamy, like a milk shake. This can take 3-8 minutes, depending on how powerful your mixer is. You'll know it's ready when the mixture becomes really pale and about double its original volume. Another check is to turn off the mixer, lift out the beaters and wiggle them from side to side. If the mixture that runs off the beaters leaves a trail on the surface of the mixture in the bowl for a second or two, you're there.
• Pour the cooled chocolate mixture over the eggy mousse, then gently fold together with a rubber spatula. Plunge the spatula in at one side, take it underneath and bring it up the opposite side and in again at the middle. Continue going under and over in a figure of eight, moving the bowl round after each folding so you can get at it from all sides, until the two mixtures are one and the colour is a mottled dark brown. The idea is to marry them without knocking out the air, so be as gentle and slow as you like.
• Hold the sieve over the bowl of eggy chocolate mixture and resift the cocoa and flour mixture, shaking the sieve from side to side, to cover the top evenly.
• Gently fold in this powder using the same figure of eight action as before. The mixture will look dry and dusty at first, and a bit unpromising, but if you keep going very gently and patiently, it will end up looking gungy and fudgy. Stop just before you feel you should, as you don't want to overdo this mixing.
• Finally, stir in the white and milk chocolate chunks until they're dotted throughout.
• Pour the mixture into the prepared tin, scraping every bit out of the bowl with the spatula. Gently ease the mixture into the corners of the tin and paddle the spatula from side to side across the top to level it.
• Put in the oven and set your timer for 25 mins. When the buzzer goes, open the oven, pull the shelf out a bit and gently shake the tin. If the brownie wobbles in the middle, it's not quite done, so slide it back in and bake for another 5 minutes until the top has a shiny, papery crust and the sides are just beginning to come away from the tin. Take out of the oven.
• Leave the whole thing in the tin until completely cold, then, if you're using the brownie tin, lift up the protruding rim slightly and slide the uncut brownie out on its base. If you're using a normal tin, lift out the brownie with the foil. Cut into quarters, then cut each quarter into four squares and finally into triangles.
• They'll keep in an airtight container for a good two weeks and in the freezer for up to a month.
