Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter
- 8 oz (225g) dark chocolate, chopped
- 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup (50g) brown sugar, packed

- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup (65g) all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup (30g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides.
- In a heatproof bowl, melt the butter and chopped dark chocolate together over a pot of simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Whisk in granulated sugar and brown sugar until combined.
- Add eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Sift together flour, cocoa powder, and salt, then gently fold the dry ingredients into the chocolate mixture until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Sprinkle sea salt flakes evenly over the batter.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting out using the parchment overhang.
- Cut into squares and serve.
