Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
3/4 cup unsalted butter
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate chopped
2 cups granulated sugar
1½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon flaked sea salt plus more for sprinkling

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (or 180℃).
Line a 8x8 metal pan with parchment paper, draping the foil over the edges. I like to use binder clips to secure the parchment. Then spray with nonstick baking spray.
In a bowl, add the flour and cocoa powder, whisking to combine.
In a large saucepan, melt the butter with the unsweetened chocolate over very low heat, stirring occasionally. Once melted, remove from the heat and add in the sugar and vanilla, stirring to combined. Next, add one egg at a time, stirring after each one.
Pour the batter in the prepared pan and spread evenly.
Sprinkle with flaky salt evenly over batter. Using a butter knife, swirl the salt into the batter. Bake in the center of the oven for about 35 to 40 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick comes back with only a trace of the batter once inserted into the middle.
Once baked, remove and let cool for 30 minutes. Using the parchment, lift the brownies out of the pan and transfer to a wire cooling rack to finish cooling. Cut into squares, sprinkle with more flaky salt (if desired) and serve.
