Ingredients
- ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted
- 4 oz (115g) bittersweet or semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (100g) packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ¾ cup (95g) all-purpose flour (or almond flour for gluten-free)
- ¼ cup (25g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon espresso powder (optional)
- ½ cup (about 80g) rainbow sprinkles, plus extra for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Melt the butter and chocolate together using a double boiler or microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring until smooth. Let cool slightly (about 5 minutes).
- Whisk granulated sugar and brown sugar into the melted chocolate mixture until just combined.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and espresso powder (if using).
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet batter using a spatula until no streaks of flour remain. Do not overmix.
- Fold about half of the rainbow sprinkles into the batter.
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan and sprinkle the remaining rainbow sprinkles on top.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick near the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
- Cool completely in the pan (about 1 hour) to allow brownies to set.
- Slice into 16 squares and serve at room temperature or slightly warmed.
Notes
