Ingredients

42 grams - semi-sweet chocolate
85 grams - unsalted butter
100 grams - granulated sugar
70 grams - brown sugar
1 - egg
1 - egg yolk
1 tsp - vanilla bean paste
60 grams - all-purpose flour
28 grams - Dutch-processed cocoa powder
14 grams - black cocoa powder
¼ tsp - Kosher salt

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a 9"x5" pan with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, add the chocolate and butter. Place over a small saucepan of simmering water, and stir often until fully melted.
Remove the chocolate butter mixture from the double boiler and allow to cool for a few minutes.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, add the sugars, eggs, and vanilla. Using an electric mixer, beat on high speed for about 3-4 minutes until the mixture has doubled in size.
While mixing on low speed, slowly pour in the chocolate butter mixture. Continue mixing until fully combined.
Add the flour, cocoa powders, and salt, and use a rubber spatula to gently fold until mostly combined.
Lastly, fold in the chopped chocolate until evenly dispersed.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and smooth out the top. Add more chopped chocolate on top, if desired.
Bake the brownies for about 28 minutes.
Allow them to cool completely in the pan before removing.
Cut into 8 triangles, top with flaky sea salt, and enjoy!
