Brownies
- 85 g unsalted butter, cut into cubes
- 80 g applesauce
- 225 g milk chocolate, coarsely chopped
- 200 g dark chocolate, coarsely chopped
- 50 g granulated sugar
- 150 g brown sugar
- 4 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 tablespoons vanilla
- 50 g all-purpose flour, sifted
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon instant coffee powder
- Position a baking rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 325F Cut a piece of parchment with handles for an 8" x 8" x 2" anodized pan.
- Butter the top side of the parchment and dust with cocoa powder.
- Melt the chocolate and butter together.
- After the chocolate mixture has cooled to touch, use a large rubber spatula or wooden spoon and beat sugar and vanilla into the chocolate mixture.
- Beat in the applesauce.
- Next, beat in the eggs, one at a time.
- Add the flour, salt, and coffee and mix vigorously by hand for 5 minutes.
- At this point, the batter will be glossy and pull away from the sides of the bowl.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and tap the pan on a counter top to even out the batter.
- Bake for 22 minutes, take out the pan, and tap the pan on the counter twice to further even out and condense the batter.
- Rotate and reinsert the pan to bake for another 22 minutes (or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out moist but free of uncooked batter).
- Remove the pan from the oven and place on a cooling rack for 10 minutes.
- Remove the brownies from the pan using the parchment handles and place the brownies on the rack.
- Cool completely before cutting.
