Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F/180°C. Line a square 8×8 baking pan with parchment paper and set it aside.

Step 2

Brown the butter: Melt the butter in a medium sized pan over medium heat. Once it melts, it will crackle, then become foamy – continue mixing the butter while this happens to prevent burning. The butter will go from melted to golden brown quickly, and you'll know it's almost done when the aroma of browned butter arrives. The whole process should take about 5 minutes! Once golden, remove from heat and transfer to a glass bowl. Cool the brown butter for at least 20 minutes.

Step 3

In a large bowl, add browned butter, brown sugar, white sugar, and espresso powder. Whisk until well combined.

Step 4

Add in egg, egg yolk, and vanilla, and continue whisking.

Step 5

Mix in flour, baking powder, and salt. Using a spatula, fold until no dry streaks appear. Don't overmix!

Step 6

Add in chopped chocolate and mix in a few times.

Step 7

Transfer into prepared pan and spread evenly. Top with extra dark chocolate.

Step 8

Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the middle is slightly puffy and the edges are a light golden brown. Allow to cool, sprinkle with flakey sea salt (optional but recommended), and enjoy!
