Ingredients
  

  • 6 Tablespoons 79 g butter melted regular or dairy-free
  • ½ cup 100 g granulated sugar
  • 6 Tablespoons 75 g light brown sugar
  • 1 egg large
  • ½ Tablespoon vanilla extract
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt kosher
  • 5 Tablespoons 40 g all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
  • 6 Tablespoons 32 g unsweetened cocoa powder (unsweetened)
  • ⅓ cup semisweet chocolate chips regular or dairy-free

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x4 loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving extra paper hanging over the sides for easy removal later.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter in the microwave or on the stove. Once melted, add both sugars to the bowl and whisk until well combined, and the mixture resembles a thick paste.
  3. Whisk the egg and vanilla extract into the sugar-butter mixture until fully incorporated.
  4. Stir in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it into an even layer. Bake for 26-36 minutes. The top should appear crackly, and a toothpick inserted into the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs. The batter should not jiggle when moved.
  7. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting them into squares.
