Sea Salt Brownies

by

I am excited about these sea salt brownies for many, many reasons.

First of all, these are brownies. I realize there is no need for reasons beyond that, but I have some extra to share.

Another reason is the sea salt. Sea salt and chocolate just belong together.

Then there is the fact that I basically haven’t baked in months, which is basically forever ago and far too long to go without baking. It felt so great to stir up this chocolatey batter.

Also, this is the inaugural recipe of the JK Hotel and the first thing I’ve baked in the Denver altitude! (side note: JK Hotel = Jenna/Katie residence = come visit!)

Aannnndddd I successfully baked these with my broken right wrist.

So yeah, exciting brownies! Eeeee alsdj aslj gaio qklgboan!!

The base of these sea salt brownies is the same as the one in these bacon nut bourbon brownies. Minus the bacon, nuts, and bourbon, but with sea salt and some dark chocolate chunks sprinkled on top.

There are a few different chocolates going on here: bittersweet chocolate, unsweetened chocolate, cocoa powder, and dark chocolate chunks. All of these combine with some butter, flour, sugar, and eggs to make incredible brownies that are chocolatey and fudgey with that perfect hint of salt.

Just ridiculously amazing.

I hope you are as excited about these sea salt brownies as I am!

Chocolatey, fudgey, gooey brownies with sea salt for extra deliciousness!
Serves: 9 large brownies
Ingredients
  • ½ cup butter
  • 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate
  • 2 ounces unsweetened chocolate
  • 2 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • ¾ cup all purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon course sea salt, plus extra for topping
  • 3 ounces high quality dark chocolate, chopped (I used a Lindt dark chocolate bar with a touch of sea salt)
Instructions
  1. Pre-heat the oven to 350° F. Take two pieces of parchment paper and place them perpendicularly in an 8x8” baking pan. Leave some overhang so that the brownies can easily be lifted out of the pan. Grease with butter or oil.
  2. Melt the butter, bittersweet chocolate, and unsweetened chocolate in a double boiler (a saucepan over a larger saucepan of boiling water) or in the microwave (heat for 30 seconds then stir, continuing this pattern until everything is melted).
  3. Stir in the cocoa powder.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, and vanilla until thoroughly combined. The sugar should be completely dissolved.
  5. Whisk in the chocolate mixture.
  6. Stir in the flour and sea salt.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and top with the chopped dark chocolate and more sea salt.
  8. Bake for about 25-30 minutes. Do not overbake! Brownies can be slightly underdone and gooey.

    Sea salt and chocolate are a favourite pairing of mine! Funny thing is, of all the brownie recipes I have made, I have never thought to use sea salt! Totally doing this next time 🙂
