Eggs also help to create a fudgy texture in brownies. However, it is important to note that using raw eggs in brownie batter can be risky due to the risk of salmonella. It is recommended to use pasteurized eggs or to cook the brownies thoroughly to avoid any health risks. Chocolate is what gives brownies their signature flavor and color.
Preheat oven to 350F. Prepare an 8x8 aluminum square baking dish with a light coating of cooking spray, or wipe with a small amount of shortening. In a bowl, combine the white sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy. In a second bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda.
PREP: Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line an 8x8 baking pan (preferably metal, see notes) with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray; set aside. CHOCOLATE: Melt the butter in a 2 cup measuring cup. Add the chocolate and stir and allow it to melt completely.
Take off of the heat, let sit for 5 minutes then add the egg and egg yolk. Whisk to combine. Add the baking powder, salt, cornstarch, and mix to combine. Gently add the flour and chocolate chips by using a spatula to fold until just combined, just until no flour streaks remain.
Too Much Liquid. Another culprit for runny brownies is an excessive amount of liquid in the batter. Liquid ingredients such as oil, butter, eggs, or milk contribute to the moisture content of the brownie batter. If the proportion of liquid is too high, the brownies may not set properly, resulting in a gooey center.
