Chocolate Chunk Brownies



Hello Folks! Sun is shining in London and some of them are finding it too hard to digest. Have you ever come across people who complain about almost everything? Too hot, too cold, too windy, too rainy- it is nature and change is the first law of nature, so please stop complaining because the good weather or the bad-it will change. Ah! That’s my rant for today ;-)

I needed brownies today. The fact that sun is shining and it is Friday-what could have been better then brownies, right? These are Chocolate Chunk Brownies- very chewy and chocolate bits oozing around. To be honest brownies is the easiest dessert and it gets ready in a jiffy if you have all ingredients handy. And the serving options are endless- think about scoop of icecream, chocolate sauce, salted caramel sauce or just some milk or coffee.




Chocolate Chunk Brownies are like any other chocolate brownies but loaded with chunks of chocolate-yes thats right! Crusty on the outside and melted bits on the inside is absolutely enticing and takes brownies to another level.

Ingredients:
⅔ cups unsweetened cocoa powder
½ cup unsalted butter
1 cup + 2 Tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
½ teaspoon baking soda
¾ cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 cup coarsely chopped dark chocolate

Method:
Preheat the oven at 180C. Lightly grease 8x8 inch pan. Line it with parchment paper.
On a low heat melt butter in a pan. Once melted add sugar and cook for 1 minute.
Remove from heat and let it cool for 30 seconds. Add cocoa powder and salt. Mix.
Add vanilla essence. Mix one egg at a time and mix. The mixture should be smooth.
Add all purpose flour and baking soda. Combine the ingredients to smooth batter.
Fold in chocolate chunks.
Spread the mixture on the prepared pan and cook for 20-25 minutes. The top will be crusty and centre will be moist.
Let the brownies cool. Cut and serve.
