Description

The Easiest Fudgy Chocolate Brownies Ever


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 1/4 cups white sugar
  • 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 4 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, good quality
  • 7 oz large semi-sweet chocolate chips or roughly chopped chocolate

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F).
  2. Lightly grease an 8×12-inch baking pan with cooking oil spray. Line with parchment paper; set aside.
  3. Combine melted butter, oil, and sugars in a medium bowl. Whisk well.
  4. Add eggs and vanilla; beat until lighter in color.
  5. Sift in flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gently fold until just combined.
  6. Fold in 3/4 of the chocolate pieces.
  7. Pour batter into prepared pan, smoothing the top, and top with remaining chocolate pieces.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes for fudgier brownies or 35-40 minutes for well-set brownies.
  9. After 15-20 minutes, remove from pan and cool to room temperature before slicing into 16 brownies.

Notes

  • For thicker brownies, bake in a 7×11-inch pan for 40-45 minutes.
  • For thinner brownies, bake in a 9×13-inch pan for 18-20 minutes.
  • An 8×12-inch pan bakes the most perfect brownies.
  • Do not overbeat the batter once flour and cocoa are added.
  • Set a timer to avoid overbaking.
  • Bake on the top shelf for best results.
