Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup (45g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) Dr Pepper (room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup (65g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp (1.5g) salt
  • 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (170g) white chocolate chips
  • 1 tbsp (8g) all-purpose flour

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x9 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Combine butter and cocoa powder in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat for 30 seconds, stir, and heat for another 30 seconds until the mixture is glossy and smooth.
  3. Whisk in the granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and Dr Pepper. Stir vigorously until the batter is smooth and the carbonation has mostly settled.
  4. Sift in 65g of flour and salt, folding gently with a spatula just until no white streaks remain.
  5. In a small bowl, toss the white chocolate chips in 1 tablespoon of flour, then fold the coated chips into the batter.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 30–35 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.
  7. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan to ensure the fudgy center sets.
