These ultimate fudgy brownies are rich, gooey, and topped with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt for a perfect sweet and savory balance. Easy to make with simple pantry ingredients, they are a crowd-pleasing treat perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 8 oz (225g) bittersweet chocolate, chopped
  • 1 ½ cups (300g) granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour (or almond flour for gluten-free)
  • ¼ cup (25g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • About 1 tsp flaky sea salt (for sprinkling on top)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×9 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
  2. Melt the butter and chopped bittersweet chocolate together in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or in the microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring until smooth and velvety, about 5 minutes.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk the granulated sugar and eggs together until pale and slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Pour the warm chocolate-butter mixture into the egg mixture, stirring continuously to avoid cooking the eggs. The batter will be glossy and thick.
  5. Stir in 2 teaspoons of pure vanilla extract.
  6. Sift the flour, cocoa powder, and salt over the batter. Gently fold in with a spatula until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle flaky sea salt evenly on top.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, starting to check at 25 minutes. The edges should be set and slightly pulling away from the pan, while the center should still jiggle slightly.
  9. Cool completely on a wire rack for 1-2 hours before cutting into squares using the parchment overhang.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs to prevent chocolate from seizing. Avoid overmixing dry ingredients to keep brownies fudgy. Watch baking time closely to avoid cakey texture. Parchment paper helps with easy removal. Flaky sea salt on top enhances flavor contrast.
