Super, duper gooey fudgy brownies - adapted from Sally's Baking Addiction recipe:
Ingredients:
175g butter
1 bar of milk or dark baking chocolate
400g granulated sugar
3 eggs
Vanilla extract
40g cocoa powder - unsweetened
125g plain flour
1tsp salt
~6tsp hazelnut/milk chocolate spread
Instructions:
1 bar of milk or dark baking chocolate
400g granulated sugar
3 eggs
Vanilla extract
40g cocoa powder - unsweetened
125g plain flour
1tsp salt
~6tsp hazelnut/milk chocolate spread
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 180c fan and line a medium-large pan with parchment paper.
- Roughly cut half the bar of chocolate into half pieces, combine it with the 175g of butter and melt it in a double boiler/bain-marie over the stove on medium-low heat. Stir frequently until both are completely melted and no visible chunks of chocolate remain.
- Pour the butter and chocolate into a large mixing bowl then whisk in the sugar. Once the sugar is completely combined, whisk in the eggs one at a time and add vanilla extract - around 1-2tsp - to your personal preferences.
- Add the flour, cocoa powder and salt and whisk it in carefully.
- Cut the remaining half of the chocolate into roughly chopped chunks, and slowly mix it in using a rubber spatula.
- Pour approximately half of the batter into the pan and spread it out evenly using the spatula, making sure it reaches all the edges and doesn't pull on the parchment awkwardly.
- Melt 3 spoons worth (more or less - to taste) of hazelnut or chocolate spread in a separate bowl, and drizzle it over the batter in the pan. Use the spatula to swirl it around and cover more of the mixture.
- Pour the remaining half of the batter into the pan and spread it out evenly.
- Place the pan in the oven and bake for 30-40 minutes (depending on your oven).
- Leave to cool for 20+ minutes covered with a tea-towel when done, then cut into small squares.
