A delicious recipe for gooey brownies with a rich chocolate flavor and a soft, chewy texture.
Ingredients
Scale
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsweetened Dutch-processed cocoa powder
- ¾ cup unsalted butter (12 tablespoons)
- 2 Tablespoons canola oil or vegetable oil
- 1 ½ cups sugar, divided (1/2 cup, 1 cup)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs, plus 1 egg yolk
- ⅔ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Add-ins: 1/2 cup to 1 cup of m&m
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line an 8×8 or 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper. Spray lightly with non-stick baking spray and set aside.
- Sift together the flour, salt, and cocoa powder in a large bowl and set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, oil, and 1/2 cup of the sugar and heat over medium heat, until butter is melted through, stirring frequently. Remove from heat.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, egg yolk, and remaining 1 cup sugar. Whisk until well combined and stir in vanilla.
- Slowly, pour the warm butter mixture into the egg mixture, adding a little bit at a time, gradually, while whisking constantly until completely combined.
- Add in the dry ingredients and stir with spatula until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and any add-ins you want at this time with a few folds without over mixing batter.
- Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 30 minutes for 9″ pan and 40 minutes for 8″ pan or until the edges are firm and the top is shiny and crackly.
- Place the pan on a cooling rack and cool until completely cooled, approximately 2 hours.
Notes
- Use high-quality cocoa powder for best results.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the brownies soft and gooey.
- Let the brownies cool completely before cutting.
