Fudgy Brown Butter Brownies (From Scratch!)
These Brown Butter Brownies are ultra-rich, gooey in the middle, and packed with chocolate in every bite. The magic? Deep, nutty flavor from browned butter—and a mix of melted chocolate and cocoa for that bakery-style texture.

Ingredients
- 1/2 Cup (113g) of Unsalted Butter
- 4 oz Baking Chocolate 56%
- 1/4 Cup (50G) White Sugar
- 3/4 Cup (160g) Packed Brown Sugar
- 3 Eggs
- 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1/4 Cup (30g) Flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 Cup (25g) Dutch-Process Cocoa
- 3/4 Cup (131g) Chocolate Chops Semi-Sweet
Instructions
- Put the 4 oz of chocolate in a medium bowl and set aside.
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Continue cooking, stirring often, until the butter foams and turns golden brown with a nutty aroma—about 5–7 minutes.
- Remove butter from heat and pour melted brown butter along with the brown leftover bits in the pan into the bowl with the 4 oz baking chocolate. Quickly whisk until smooth. Let it cool slightly for 5 minutes.
- Whisk in the brown sugar and white sugar until glossy. Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each. Stir in the vanilla.
- Add the flour, salt, and Dutch-process cocoa powder. Stir gently until just combined.
- Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips for melty pools of goodness in every bite.
- Pour batter into a parchment-lined 8x8-inch pan. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center has a slight jiggle.
- Place on a cooling rack while brownies are in the pan for 5 mins. Then remove brownies from the pan by lifting the parchment paper and place back on the cooling rack to cool completely before slicing.
