Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.75 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 eggs
- 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup dark chocolate chips or chunks
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch square baking pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly with nonstick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk the melted butter, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully incorporated.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir together gently with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until just combined and no dry streaks remain. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips or chunks, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with the back of a spoon or spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs but no raw batter.
Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once cooled, lift the brownies out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang (if used), and slice into 9 equal squares. Serve and enjoy!
