→ Main Ingredients

01 - 1/4 cup cocoa powder
02 - 1/2 cup dark chocolate
03 - 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
04 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
05 - 2 eggs, room temperature
06 - 1 1/2 cups milk
07 - 1 1/2 cups glutinous rice flour
08 - 1/8 teaspoon salt
09 - 3/4 cup sugar
10 - 1 teaspoon baking powder
11 - Chocolate chunks for topping, to taste

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat your oven to 320°F (160-170°C). Line a 20x20 cm (8x8 inch) baking pan with baking paper.
02 - Using a double boiler (bain-marie), melt the dark chocolate and butter together. Stir until fully combined, then set aside to cool slightly.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with vanilla extract until well combined. Add the milk and stir until blended. Gradually incorporate the melted chocolate-butter mixture, stirring until fully combined.
04 - In another bowl, mix together the glutinous rice flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and sugar until evenly combined.
05 - Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until you have a smooth batter. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, sifting it through a sieve to prevent lumps.
06 - Sprinkle chocolate chunks evenly over the top of the batter. Bake in the preheated oven for about 55-60 minutes.
07 - Allow the brownies to cool in the pan before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, cut into squares and serve.

# Notes:

01 - Always use baking paper to prevent the brownies from sticking to the pan
02 - Let the brownies cool completely before cutting for cleaner slices
03 - For easier cutting of the sticky texture, brush your knife with a little oil
