Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 1/4 cups (250g) granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup (150g) packed brown sugar
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for GF option)
  • 3/4 cup (75g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) Guinness stout, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup (90g) dark chocolate chunks or chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8 inch baking pan with butter or line it with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
  2. Melt the butter gently in a microwave-safe bowl or on the stovetop over low heat. Let it cool slightly so it’s warm but not hot.
  3. Whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a large bowl until smooth and shiny, about 2 minutes.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, making sure each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  6. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Pour in the Guinness stout, folding it in carefully until the batter is smooth and glossy.
  8. Fold in the dark chocolate chunks or chips, if using.
  9. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  10. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, starting to check at 28 minutes. The edges should be set and the center slightly soft with a few moist crumbs on a toothpick.
  11. Remove from oven and place the pan on a cooling rack. Let the brownies cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for better batter emulsification. Add Guinness slowly and fold gently to keep batter thick. Tent pan with foil if edges bake too quickly. Use a sharp knife warmed under hot water for clean slicing. Store in airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days or freeze up to 3 months.
