MeasurementsIngredients
2 ozUnsweetened Chocolate
½ Cup (1 stick)Sweet Butter (Unsalted Butter)
2Eggs
1 CupSugar
½ CupShredded Unblanched Almonds
½ CupUn-sifted All-Purpose Flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch square pan.
  2. Melt the chocolate and butter together over a double boiler (or in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between). Set aside to cool slightly.
  3. In a medium bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together with an electric mixer on high speed until the mixture is thick, pale, and falls from the beaters in a ribbon (about 3-5 minutes).
  4. On low speed, gently mix in the cooled chocolate and butter mixture.
  5. Using a spatula, fold in the flour and almonds until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 25 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with moist crumbs, not wet batter.
  8. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting.
