Chick-fil-A Brownie Recipe
Chocolate brownies are a classic American baked good that has been all but perfected by Chick-fil-A. The brownie style is both fudgy and slightly cakey, requires only a few ingredients, and is easy to replicate at home!
Equipment
- 9x13 inch baking dish
- saucepan
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter melted
- 4 large eggs room temperature
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- ⅔ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup Dutch-process cocoa powder
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ½ cup chocolate chunks
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F/177°C.Grease the inside of a 9x13 inch baking dish and press a piece of parchment paper across the midsection of the pan, leaving a few inches of overhang. The overhang makes removal easier. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, salt, cocoa, and baking powder until well combined. Set aside.
- In a medium-sized saucepan gently melt the butter, taking care not to burn. As soon as the butter is melted, remove it from the heat and add the chocolate chips. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, stir the chocolate chips into the butter until they have completely melted and a smooth, homogeneous mixture has formed. Optionally, make the chocolate mixture in the microwave. Simply combine butter and chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. Once you have a smooth chocolate and butter mixture, add in the granulated sugar. Stir continuously until all of the sugar has dissolved. Stir in the vanilla extract. Add in one egg at a time, making sure that each egg is completely incorporated before adding in the next.
- Add the dry ingredient mixture into the chocolate batter. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, fold the ingredients together until just mixed. The batter will be extremely thick. Resist the urge to add water. Do not overmix, as overmixing will encourage gluten formation which we do not want.
- Pour batter into the prepared baking sheet and spread evenly.Gently sprinkle chocolate chunks over the top of the batter, taking care to distribute them as uniformly as possible to ensure a consistent bake.
- Bake for approximately 30 minutes. Depending on the heat of your oven, the bake time may vary. At the 28-minute mark, insert a toothpick to check doneness.If the toothpick comes out mostly dry with moist specks clinging to it, it’s done. If it comes out wet, place it back into the oven and test with a toothpick every two minutes until done. Place finished brownies on a wire rack and allow them to cool completely before cutting into them.
- Once completely cooled, use the parchment overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan. If they’re sticking to the edges, gently go around the perimeter with a butter knife to loosen. Slice and enjoy!
