Easy to prepare and bake in under 30 minutes, these brookies are ideal for snacks, dessert, or sharing with friends and family.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 95 g plain (all-purpose) flour
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 85 g dark or milk chocolate chips

Wet Ingredients

  • 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
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 160ºC (320ºF) with a fan or 170ºC (338ºF) for conventional heating. Line a baking tray with parchment paper to prepare for baking the brookies.
  2. Melt Chocolate and Butter: In a heatproof bowl, combine the chopped dark chocolate and butter. Place this over a pan of simmering water, ensuring the bowl’s bottom does not touch the water. Stir occasionally until fully melted and combined, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  3. Whip Eggs and Sugars: In a separate medium bowl, use an electric hand whisk on high speed to beat the caster sugar, Demerara sugar, and eggs. Whisk for about 5 minutes until the mixture is very light, thick, and fluffy.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in another bowl, then add the chocolate chips. This ensures a lump-free and even mixture of dry ingredients.
  5. Integrate Chocolate Mixture: Gradually fold the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the whipped eggs and sugars. Stir gently to keep the airiness and volume in the batter.
  6. Fold in Dry Ingredients: Carefully fold the sifted dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula. Mix just until combined to maintain a light batter without overmixing.
  7. Bake the Brookies: Scoop tablespoons of the batter onto the prepared baking tray, spacing them well apart for spreading. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes until the brookies are set and have a crackly top.
  8. Cool and Finish: Remove from the oven and, if desired, sprinkle with sea salt immediately. Let the brookies cool on the baking tray for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Demerara sugar provides a subtle crunch and flavor; substitute with light brown sugar if unavailable.
  • Make sure eggs are at room temperature to help achieve the fluffy texture when whisked.
  • Sprinkling sea salt after baking enhances the chocolate flavor and adds a savory contrast.
  • Store brookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
