Decadent Black and White Brownies

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Decadent Black and White Brownies.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grab a 9x13-inch baking pan and lightly grease it to ensure your brownies come out easily after baking.

2. Step 2

   In a large mixing bowl, combine 3/4 cup of softened butter, 1 cup of white sugar, and 1 cup of firmly packed light brown sugar. Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture until it becomes light and fluffy. This is where the magic begins! Next, add in 3 large eggs and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, mixing until everything is well incorporated.

3. Step 3

   In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Gradually stir this dry mixture into the creamed butter mixture until you achieve a smooth batter. Now, it’s time to divide this delightful batter into two bowls.

4. Step 4

   In one bowl, whisk together 1/3 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder and 1 tablespoon of melted butter. Stir this chocolatey mixture into one of the bowls of batter—this will be your rich 'black half'. Pour this black half into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.

5. Step 5

   In the second bowl, stir in the remaining 1/4 cup of flour along with 1/2 cup of milk chocolate chips to create the 'white half'. Gently spread this white batter over the black half, ensuring an even layer. For a final touch, sprinkle 1/2 cup of white chocolate chips over the top.

6. Step 6

   Bake your brownies in the preheated oven for about 20 to 30 minutes, or until the edges start to pull away from the sides of the pan. The aroma will be irresistible! Once baked, allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting them into bars. Enjoy the delightful contrast of flavors and textures!
