Small batch, crinkle top brownies
Small batch crinkle top brownies will make you smile! The best brownie recipe ever, in my humble opinion. Chocolaty fudgy, and gooey. Indulge, but in a small (batch) way!
Equipment
- 1 7x11 inch baking pan (or double the recipe and use a 9x13 inch pan)
Ingredients
- 70 gr salted butter (or unsalted, but add ½ tsp of salt to the dry ingredients later)(approx. 5 tbsp)
- 120 gr dark chocolate (chopped)(or sub semi sweet chocolate)(approx. 4 oz.)
- 15 gr cocoa powder (approx. 2 tbsp)
- 80 gr spelt flour (or sub white whole wheat flour, all purpose flour or even 1-on-1 gluten free flour)(approx. ⅔ cup)
- ¼ tsp baking powder
- 2 large eggs
- 60 gr avocado oil (or sub coconut or olive oil)(approx. ½ cup)
- 150 gr organic raw cane sugar (or sub regular white sugar)(approx. ¾ cup)
- 50 gr coconut sugar (or sub dark brown sugar)(approx. ¼ cup)
- 1½ tsp pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 340F/170C and line a 7x11 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Melt the chocolate and butter together in a double boiler/au bain marie(Scroll up in the blogpost to read how). Once it is melted transfer it to a large mixing bowl.
- Add the cocoa powder to the melted chocolate mixture and stir to combine with a (wooden) spatula. Combine the spelt flour and baking powder in a separate small bowl, and then add it to the chocolate mixture and stir it in.
- Now add the oil and vanilla extract to the chocolate mixture. Use a spatula to fold it all in. No need to whisk vigorously, it is better to just fold it in until just combined!
- Whisk together the eggs and both sugars in a separate (tall) container/bowl until foamy and semi stiff (peaks are starting to form). Either use an electric handheld mixer, or do it by hand with a regular whisk.
- Fold the egg mixture into the brownie batter with a spatula until just combined. The trick is to keep as much air in the batter as possible.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and bake it in the preheated oven for 25-28 minutes. They are ready when the center of the brownies has just set.
- Take it out of the oven and let it cool completely before cutting it. While it is cooling off, it will continue to stiffen up and the crinkly top will form.
