Instructions
Preheat oven
Preheat the oven to 175°C and line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
Melt butter and chocolate
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine butter and finely chopped bittersweet chocolate. Microwave in 30-second intervals until melted and smooth.
Add sugar and eggs
Whisk the granulated sugar into the melted chocolate mixture until combined. Add eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
Add dry ingredients
Add flour, cocoa powder, and salt to the wet mixture. Fold gently until just combined — do not overmix.
Bake brownies
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs.
Cool and slice
Allow brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing into 12 squares.
