Ingredients
Batter Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled Provides moisture and richness
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil Enhances moisture and contributes to texture
- 1 1/4 cups white sugar Adds sweetness
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed Adds depth and moisture
- 4 large eggs, at room temperature Binds ingredients and provides structure
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract Enhances overall flavor
- 3/4 teaspoon salt Balances sweetness
- 1 cup all-purpose flour Provides structure
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, good quality Gives a rich chocolate flavor
- 7 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips or roughly chopped chocolate Adds chunks of chocolate
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Prepare your baking pan for easy removal later.
- Grease an 8×12-inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper.
Mixing the Batter
- In a bowl, combine melted butter, vegetable oil, and both sugars. Mix until well combined.
- Add in the eggs and vanilla extract, beating until the mixture becomes lighter in color and slightly fluffy.
- Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt into the wet mixture. Gently fold until just combined.
- Fold in three-quarters of the chocolate pieces gently into the batter.
Baking
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
- Sprinkle the remaining chocolate pieces on top.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes for fudgy brownies or 35 to 40 minutes for more set brownies.
- Let the brownies cool in the pan for about 15 to 20 minutes before slicing into 16 squares.
Notes
For best results, allow the brownies to cool completely before slicing.
