king arthur brownie recipe

- Diet: General (adaptable for Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free)
Description
This King Arthur brownie recipe yields incredibly dense and fudgy chocolate brownies, perfect for a quick family treat or a show-stopping dessert. It’s a straightforward method transforming simple ingredients into a beloved classic with a rich chocolate aroma.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1.25 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons alcohol-free vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup chocolate chunks or chips
Instructions
- Prep Pan: Preheat oven to 175 C (350 F). Lightly grease and line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides.
- Melt Butter and Sugars: In a large microwave-safe bowl or double boiler, melt 1 cup unsalted butter. Add 1 cup granulated sugar and 0.5 cup light brown sugar, whisking vigorously until well combined and glossy (about 1 minute).
- Whisk in Wet Ingredients: Whisk in 3 large eggs one at a time until fully incorporated. Stir in 2 teaspoons alcohol-free vanilla extract.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: Sift in 1.25 cups unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon fine sea salt, and 0.5 teaspoon baking powder directly into the wet mixture.
- Mix Wet and Dry: Mix with a spatula until just combined, being careful not to overmix. Fold in 1 cup chocolate chunks or chips evenly.
- Bake to Perfection: Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached (not wet batter). The edges should be set, but the center slightly soft.
- Cool and Slice: Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack for at least 2 hours. Once cool, lift them out using the parchment paper overhang and slice into neat squares.
Notes
To prevent dry brownies, avoid overbaking; remove when a toothpick has moist crumbs. To prevent cakey texture, do not overmix the batter. This recipe is adaptable; use plant-based butter and dairy-free chocolate for a dairy-free version, or a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free brownies. Adding unflavored collagen or protein powder can increase protein content.
