Brownies

Fudgy, moist, and super chocolaty brownies, with perfect crispy edges.

Cook time: 50 mins

Yield: Serves 16 brownies

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 2/3 cup cocoa powder, sifted
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar, sifted
• 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
• 3/4 teaspoon sea salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup canola oil or extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Lightly spray an 8x8 baking dish with cooking spray and line it with parchment paper. Spray the parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, combine sugar, flour, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, chocolate chips, and salt.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, olive oil, water, and vanilla.
4. Sprinkle the dry mix over the wet mix and stir until just combined.
5. Pour the batter into the pan and use a spatula to smooth the top. Bake for 40 to 48 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with only a few crumbs attached. Cool completely before slicing.

Notes

• If you’d like to reduce the sugar, you can use 1 cup granulated sugar instead of 1-1/2 cups.
• Canola oil will give a more neutral flavor than olive oil, but either will work well.
• When these brownies come out of the oven, they’ll be super gooey in the middle. Allow them to cool completely, about 2 hours, before you slice into them to give them a chance to set up. They’ll continue to firm up the longer they’re out of the oven.
• Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. These also freeze well!
