Description

These Toffee Brownies are rich, fudgy, and loaded with chocolate chips and crunchy toffee bits. They offer a perfect balance of sweetness and texture, featuring a deep cocoa flavor enhanced by butter, brown sugar, and a tender crumb. Perfect for an indulgent treat or a crowd-pleasing dessert.

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 5 tablespoons (71 grams) unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup (150 grams) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100 grams) light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs plus 1 egg yolk (cold)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup (74 grams) vegetable oil

Dry Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup (75 grams) Dutch-process cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup (63 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt

Add-ins

  • 3/4 cup (128 grams) semisweet chocolate chips (divided)
  • 1 cup (170 grams) toffee bits

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Line an 8 by 8-inch metal baking pan with parchment paper, making sure to leave an overhang on the sides for easy removal of the brownies later.
  2. Melt Butter and Mix Sugars: In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter by microwaving it for about 1 minute. Whisk in the granulated and brown sugars until fully combined. Allow the mixture to cool until just warm to prevent cooking the eggs in the next step.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Whisk in the 2 eggs, additional egg yolk, and vanilla extract vigorously for about 30 seconds to incorporate air and help achieve a tender crumb.
  4. Incorporate Oil and Cocoa: Whisk the vegetable oil and Dutch-process cocoa powder into the batter until smooth and well combined.
  5. Add Dry Ingredients: Using a rubber spatula, gently stir in the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and fine sea salt until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  6. Fold in Chocolate Chips and Toffee Bits: Stir in most of the semisweet chocolate chips and toffee bits, reserving a handful of each to sprinkle on top in the next step.
  7. Fill Pan and Add Toppings: Spread the brownie batter evenly into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips and toffee bits evenly over the top for added texture and sweetness.
  8. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes. Test doneness by inserting a cake tester or toothpick into the center: it should have moist crumbs attached. For less fudgy brownies, bake an additional 5–7 minutes until the tester comes out with only melted chocolate.
  9. Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment overhang. Cut into 16 squares and serve.
  10. Storage: Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days to maintain freshness and texture.

Notes

  • Using cold eggs helps create a more decadent and chewy brownie texture.
  • Toffee bits add a wonderful crunch and complement the chocolate flavor perfectly.
  • For a fudgier result, avoid overbaking and keep an eye on the cake tester doneness indication.
  • Make sure to line the pan with parchment paper with an overhang for easy removal and clean cutting edges.
  • Store brownies airtight to keep them moist and prevent drying out.
