Time: 40 minutes
3 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped into several pieces
8 tablespoons (1 stick) salted or unsalted butter, more for greasing pan
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
Pinch salt if you use unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, optional.
1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Combine chocolate and butter in a small saucepan over very low heat, stirring occasionally. Alternatively, microwave on 1% power one or two minutes at a time until melted. When chocolate is just about melted, remove from heat, and continue to stir until mixture is smooth. Meanwhile, grease an 8-inch-square baking pan. If you like, also line it with waxed or parchment paper and grease that.
2. Stir in sugar. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Add flour (and salt and vanilla if you are using them), and stir to incorporate. Stop stirring when no traces of flour remain.
3. Pour into pan, and bake 20 to 30 minutes, or until set and barely firm in the middle. Cool on a rack before cutting.
Yield: About 1 dozen brownies.

I used cocoa powder instead and they turned out great.
