Ingredients
  

  • cup 86g all-purpose flour (For structure)
  • ½ cup 50g Dutch-process cocoa powder (Adds richness)
  • ½ teaspoon salt For balance
  • 2 large eggs Room temperature
  • 1 egg yolk For richness
  • ½ cup 100g light brown sugar packed (Adds moisture and depth)
  • ½ cup 100g granulated sugar (For sweetness)
  • ½ cup 110g unsalted butter melted (For moisture)
  • 1 teaspoon instant coffee granules Enhances chocolate flavor
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract For flavor
  • 3.5 oz 100g 70% cocoa dark chocolate chopped (For melty pockets)
  • Flaky sea salt For sprinkling

Method
 

  1. Prepare the homemade salted caramel.
  2. Once the caramel is made, divide it into two parts. Pour half into a small baking pan lined with parchment and freeze the other half in a jar.
  3. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8x8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Set aside.
  5. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and both sugars for 2-3 minutes, until pale and creamy.
  6. Add the melted butter, coffee granules, and vanilla to the egg mixture. Mix until combined.
  7. Slowly fold in the dry ingredients with a rubber spatula until fully incorporated.
  8. Add the chopped dark chocolate and gently fold into the batter.
  9. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  10. Remove the chilled caramel from the freezer. Use a spoon to dollop it over the brownie batter. Swirl gently with a butter knife to marble the caramel into the brownie batter.
  11. Bake for 33-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs. The caramel should have sunk into the batter.
  12. Let the brownies cool for 20 minutes before drizzling with the remaining chilled caramel, filling any crevices.
  13. Chill the brownies for 1 hour, or until the pan is no longer warm. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt before serving.
