Description
Deliciously fudgy chocolate brownies that are easy to make and perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 tablespoons (85 g) unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 ¼ cup (250 g) granulated white sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup (63 g) cocoa powder
- ¼ cup (60 ml) oil
- 2 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup (60 g) all-purpose flour (*spooned and leveled)
- 1 cup (170 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare pan. Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch square pan or line with parchment paper. I recommend a metal baking pan so the brownies cook evenly.
- Melt butter. In a small saucepan, melt the butter. You want the butter hot when combined with the sugar and cocoa in the next step.
- Combine butter, sugar, cocoa and salt. In a large mixing bowl, stir together with a spatula or wooden spoon the melted butter, sugar, cocoa powder and salt.
- Add wet ingredients. Remove from heat, and whisk in the oil, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
- Add dry ingredients. Stir in with a spatula the flour, just until combined. Be sure to not overmix at this point. The more you mix the cakier your brownies will be. Fold in the chocolate chips. Spread batter into prepared pan.
- Bake. Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes until the edges look dry but the middle is slightly soft, and underdone. Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Cut into bars and serve.
Notes
- For best results, do not overmix the batter.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting for cleaner edges.
