Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon espresso powder (optional)

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large egg whites
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Topping

  • 3/4 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Set your oven to 325˚F (160˚C) to prepare for baking the brownie brittle.
  2. Prepare baking sheet: Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly oil the corners or spray with cookie spray to help the parchment adhere properly.
  3. Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, kosher salt, baking soda, cocoa powder, and optional espresso powder until evenly combined. Set aside.
  4. Whip egg whites and sugar: In a separate large bowl, use a hand mixer to whip the egg whites and granulated sugar together until the mixture becomes very light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
  5. Add oil and vanilla: Pour in the vegetable oil and vanilla extract to the whipped mixture and mix until fully incorporated.
  6. Combine mixtures: Add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet mixture in two batches, mixing gently until no dry streaks remain. Be careful not to overmix to maintain a light texture.
  7. Spread batter: Pour the batter onto the prepared baking sheet. Use an offset spatula to evenly spread the batter to about 1/8 inch thick, reaching the edges of the parchment.
  8. Add chocolate chips: Sprinkle the mini chocolate chips evenly over the top of the spread batter.
  9. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 20-23 minutes, or until the edges just start to darken slightly, indicating a crisp finish.
  10. Cool: Remove from the oven and allow the brownie brittle to cool completely on the baking sheet, allowing it to set and harden.
  11. Serve: Once cooled, break the brittle into pieces and enjoy your crunchy, chocolaty treat!

Notes

  • For an extra depth of flavor, the espresso powder is optional but recommended.
  • Do not overmix the batter after adding dry ingredients to keep the brittle light and crisp.
  • Use parchment paper and oil the corners to prevent the brittle from sticking.
  • Ensure the brownie brittle is completely cooled before breaking to avoid crumbling.
  • Store in an airtight container to maintain crispiness.
