Expert Baking Tips
- Baking Pan: Line your 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, creating "handles" that hang over the sides. Then grease your pan with non-stick spray. This makes extracting the brownies once they have cooled extremely easy.
- Cocoa Powder: In order to have an intense chocolate flavor, this recipe uses more cocoa powder than flour.
- Folding: This means we carefully combine our ingredients without stirring or beating. We do this with a silicone spatula until the ingredients are just combined with each other, “folding” everything together.
- Cooling: To easily cut and serve the brownies, allow them to cool for at least one hour. I like to use a dough scraper to get smooth and even cuts.
Ingredients Needed
Here are some notes on the ingredients we'll be using. For the full ingredients list, look at the recipe card below.
- Chocolate: I used a bittersweet chocolate bar, but you could also use semi-sweet or milk chocolate.
- Eggs: A combination of two large eggs and one egg yolk at room temperature are needed. That extra yolk helps to make the brownies chewy and thick.
- Oil: Just a little bit of vegetable oil added to the batter will help to intensify the chocolate flavor, along with adding extra fudginess.
- Cocoa Powder: I used Hershey's 100% Cacao Natural Unsweetened cocoa powder.
- Chocolate Chips: I used semisweet chocolate chips, but you could also use dark chocolate chips or milk chocolate chips.
Instructions
Here are the step by step instructions on how to make this triple chocolate brownies recipe.
Step 1: Melt the chocolate. In a microwaveable-safe medium bowl, melt butter and chopped chocolate in 20-second intervals, stirring well after every 20 seconds until melted and smooth.
Step 2: Wet ingredients. In a large bowl, whisk together the white sugar, eggs, and egg yolk for 3 minutes. Then whisk in the oil, vanilla extract, and melted chocolate mixture, just until combined.
Step 3: Dry ingredients: Gently fold in the cocoa powder, flour, and salt using a rubber spatula. Then fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips.
Step 4: Bake. Scrape the batter intp the prepared pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, or just until the edges are set and the middle of the brownies no longer jiggle.
PRO TIP! Add coarse salt to the top of the brownies once out of the oven if desired.
Storing Tips
Keep any leftover brownies in an airtight container on the counter for up to 5 days.
