Ingredients
- – 1 cup (240 ml) unsalted butter melted and cooled
- – 2 tablespoons (30 ml) vegetable oil
- – 1 1/4 cups (300 g) white sugar
- – 1 cup (200 g) light brown sugar packed
- – 4 eggs large, at room temperature
- – 1 tablespoon (15 ml) pure vanilla extract
- – 3/4 teaspoon (4 ml) salt
- – 1 cup (120 g) all-purpose flour
- – 1 cup (85 g) unsweetened cocoa powder good quality
- – 7 oz (200 g) large chocolate chips or roughly chopped chocolate
Instructions
- Set your oven to 175°C (350°F) to preheat.
- Use a spray of cooking oil to lightly coat an 8×12-inch baking dish, and then line it with parchment paper; set it aside.
- In a medium bowl, blend the melted butter, vegetable oil, and both sugars thoroughly using a whisk.
- Incorporate the eggs and vanilla extract, beating the mixture until it lightens in color, which should take about a minute.
- Sift the flour, cocoa powder, and salt into the bowl. Carefully fold these dry components into the wet mixture, ensuring not to over-mix to preserve the brownies’ texture.
- Gently mix in 3/4 of the chocolate pieces.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly, and sprinkle the remaining chocolate pieces on top.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes for a fudgy consistency or until the center is just set. For a firmer result, bake for 35-40 minutes. Remember, the brownies will continue to cook in the hot pan after being removed from the oven. A toothpick inserted should come out with moist crumbs for a fudgy texture.
- Allow to cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes, then carefully take them out and let them cool to room temperature before cutting them into 16 pieces. They will firm up as they cool.
- Store them at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to 5 days. They can be frozen for up to 3 months; let them thaw overnight in the fridge, then bring to room temperature before serving or warm them up in the microwave.
Notes
- Ensure your eggs are at room temperature for a light and fluffy brownie texture.
- Use high-quality unsweetened cocoa powder for the best chocolate flavor.
- Avoid over-mixing the batter to keep a chewy texture in your brownies.
