This isn’t hyperbole, these really are the best brownies i’ve ever had and we added a different flavor profile by smoking them for the first half of the baking process. They are super chocolaty and moist and… perfect.


Ingredients:

  • 8 oz 80% Dark Chocolate (Chopped)

  • 3/4 Cup Dutch Process Cocoa Powder ***(TOTAL, you use 1/4 cup when melting chocolate THEN 1/2 cup with the flour)***

  • 1 Tbsp Espresso

  • 1 1/4 Cup Unsalted Butter

  • 2 Cups White Granulated Sugar

  • 1/2 Cup Dark Brown Sugar

  • 2 Tsp Vanilla Extract

  • 2 Tsp Kosher Salt

  • 6 Eggs

  • 1 Cup All Purpose Flower

Directions:

  • Butter a 9x13 baking pan. Line the baking pan with parchment paper, then butter the parchment paper to ensure brownies will come out cleanly

  • Chop dark chocolate into chunks and then place inside a large glass measuring cup

  • Add 1/4 cup Dutch Process Cocoa powder and espresso powder to the measuring glass with the dark chocolate and set aside.

  • Melt the butter and bring to a simmer

  • As soon as the butter comes to a simmer pour into the large measuring glass with the chocolate, dutch cocoa and espresso powder

  • Let it sit for 2 mins, then whisk together until smooth with no lumps

  • Add white and brown sugar and vanilla extract to kitchen aid mixing bowl

  • Mix on low until all ingredients are combined

  • Add one egg and mix until completely combined

  • Add the rest of the eggs one at a time

  • Mix on low for 10 minutes

  • Add melted chocolate mixture to the kitchen aid mixing bowl

  • Mix until all ingredients are completely combined (around 1 or 2 minutes)

  • Sift all purpose flour and 1/2 cup dutch process cocoa powder into the batter

  • Gently fold the batter together until all ingredients are incorporated and there are no more dry ingredients in the batter

  • Pour batter into your 9x13 baking pan

  • Level the batter and gently drop the pan 3 or 4 times on the counter to help level out the batter

  • Put into a preheated smoker (or oven) at 350 degrees for 20 mins

  • Remove from smoker or oven and drop the pan on the counter 5 or 6 times to remove any built up air in the batter

  • Put into the oven (at 350 degrees) for 25 minutes

  • Remove from the oven and let rest for 20 minutes

  • Grabbing the parchment paper remove the brownies from the baking pan and place on a cooling rack for 20 minutes

  • Cut the brownies however your like.

  • Serve with milk or ice cream


ENJOY !!!
