Chocolate Brownies


Hello all!
Hope you are having a great day and a wonderful weekend.
I recently went over to a friend's for afternoon tea or "fika" as we call it here in Sweden. I don't like going empty handed anywhere so I brought brownies with me.


The brownies were popular and I was asked for the recipe, at which point I very quickly wanted to say that it was on my blog. But guess what? Even though I've talked about brownies on the blog before, and have shared the recipe in a feature on Lindsey's blog Have Clothes, Will Travel, I have never actually shared the recipe for my favourite brownies on the blog. I am making amends to that now.




Chocolate Brownies


INGREDIENTS

  • 120 grams dark chocolate, chopped in pieces
  • 115 grams butter, chopped in pieces
  • 200 grams sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs
  • 100 grams flour

DIRECTIONS

Preheat the oven to 165°C.
Melt the chocolate and butter in a bowl over a saucepan of heated water. Add the sugar and vanilla, whisk. Whisk in the eggs, on at a time. Stir in the flour. Pour into a 20x20 cm pan and bake for about 25 minutes.


I usually add chocolate ganache to the brownies once they've cooled for extra chocolatey-ness. Find the recipe for chocolate ganache here.

And lastly add sprinkles. These sprinkles that I used here are from Sweetapolita, and it's called Galaxy Twinkle Sprinkle Medley (on etsy: here). I just love Sweetapolita's sprinkles. They are so beautiful and really add to anything you put it on. These plain brownies looked so pretty with the sprinkles.





Now I can finally say that my famous brownies are up on the blog!
Have a beautiful rest of the week.

Much love,

    I've never been able to master the brownie so I'm looking forward to giving this recipe a whirl! They look so moist and scrumptious and those sprinkles are the perfect touch, so pretty <3

    These brownies look so, so good! I'm not surprised they were a success. Brownies are always a good thing to bake because you don't need a lot of ingredients and they taste amazing. The sprinkles are amazing :D

    Your brownies look so amazingly rich and fudgy! I've never added ganache and sprinkles to brownies - I definitely have to do that with my next batch.
