Sea Salt Brownies

You’ll just have to try these sweet and salty brownies. Salt is usually added to enhance the sweetness of desserts. This recipe takes that food science theory to the next level by adding sea salt crystals sporadically to the top of each brownie. You won’t get a salt crystal with every bite, but when you do, prepare for the rush of sweetness.

Tips:

Keep an eye on your brownies. There is a 10-minute window between chewy brownies and cake brownies. For chewy brownies, take them out of the oven right before the center is fully cooked. For cake brownies, let the center fully cook.
Since brownies are all about the chocolate, it’s important to use the type of chocolate (milk chocolate, semi-sweet or dark chocolate) and the brand of chocolate that you enjoy the most.

Ingredients

2 large eggs
3/4 cup milk chocolate morsels
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup all-purpose flour (plus 1 tbsp for dusting loaf pan)
1/2 tsp sea salt crystals
1/2 stick (4 tbsp) unsalted butter (plus 1 tbsp for greasing loaf pan)
pinch of salt

Steps

Step 1
Make the batter
Place two large eggs in a bowl and whisk for 5 minutes or until frothy. Add granulated sugar, brown sugar, pinch of salt and flour.

In a separate small bowl, add butter and chocolate. Melt in the microwave for approximately 1 minute or until butter and chocolate have completely melted. Add melted butter and chocolate to the other ingredients. Stir until combined.
Step 2
Bake the brownies
Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Grease a nonstick bread loaf pan or an 8×8 pan with butter and dust lightly with flour. Tap off excess flour. Add the batter to the pan until the batter is about 1-inch deep. Bake in the oven for 40-45 minutes or until the batter has almost completely solidified. More time is needed if the batter in the pan is deeper than one inch. Do not over bake. You can test the batter using a toothpick. Place the toothpick in the center of the batter. The toothpick should come out slightly damp with cooked batter, but should not be raw. Remove brownies from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes. When cool, place your hand on top of the brownies and turn the loaf pan over to pop the brownies out.
Step 3
Serve
Sprinkle the top of the brownies with sea salt crystals. Press each salt crystal into the brownie using your fingers. This process will help the salt crystals stay on top of the brownies. Slice evenly into six brownies. Serve.
