Brownies Ingredients:
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 |
Directions:
1. Position a baking rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 325°F Cut a piece of parchment with handles for an 8 x 8 x 2 anodized pan.
2. Butter the top side of the parchment and dust with cocoa powder.
3. 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.
4. Add the flour, salt, and coffee and mix vigorously by hand for 5 minutes.
5. At this point, the batter will be glossy and pull away from the sides of the bowl.
6. 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).
7. 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.
