How to Make Fudgy Chewy Browkies
Ingredients:
- 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 (*see notes)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 85 g dark or milk chocolate chips
Directions:
Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 160ºC (320ºF) with a fan or 170ºC (338ºF) for conventional heating. Prepare a baking tray by lining it with parchment paper.
Melt Chocolate and Butter: In a heatproof bowl, combine the chopped dark chocolate and butter. Place this bowl over a pan of simmering water, ensuring the bottom does not touch the water. Stir occasionally until melted and combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Whip Eggs and Sugars: In a separate medium bowl, beat the caster sugar, demerara sugar, and eggs with an electric hand whisk on high speed. Whisk until the mixture is very light, thick, and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt, then add the chocolate chips. This helps to avoid lumps and ensures everything is evenly mixed.
Integrate Chocolate Mixture: Gradually fold the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the whipped eggs and sugars. Stir gently to keep the airiness of the whipped eggs.
Fold in Dry Ingredients: Carefully fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula. Mix only until just combined to keep the batter light.
Bake the Brookies: Scoop tablespoons of batter onto the prepared baking tray, spacing them well apart to allow for spreading. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, or until set and crackly on top.
Cool and Finish: Remove from the oven and sprinkle with sea salt immediately, if desired. Let them cool on the baking tray for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
How to Serve Fudgy Chewy Browkies
Enjoy your Fudgy Chewy Browkies warm or at room temperature. They are delightful on their own but can also be served with a scoop of ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for added indulgence.
How to Store Fudgy Chewy Browkies
To store your Browkies, place them in an airtight container at room temperature. They will stay fresh for up to 5 days. For longer storage, consider freezing them. Just place them in a freezer-safe bag or container, and they will be good for up to 3 months. When ready to enjoy, simply thaw at room temperature or warm them slightly in the oven.
Tips to Make Fudgy Chewy Browkies
- Make sure your eggs are at room temperature for better mixing.
- Don’t overmix the batter; mix just until combined to keep a fudgy texture.
- Experiment with different types of chocolate chips for a unique twist on flavor.
Variation
You can add nuts, such as walnuts or pecans, for a crunchy texture. Another option is to swirl some caramel or peanut butter into the batter for an extra burst of flavor.
FAQs
Q: Can I use milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate?
A: Yes, you can use milk chocolate for a sweeter flavor if you prefer.
Q: How do I know when my Browkies are done baking?
A: They should appear set and have a crackly top. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out with a few moist crumbs.
Q: Can I make the batter ahead of time?
A: It’s best to bake the batter right after mixing. If you need to prepare in advance, store the mixture in the fridge for a few hours before baking.
