Ingredients
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
2/3 cup cocoa powder, sifted if lumpy
1/2 cup powdered sugar, sifted if lumpy
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
3/4 teaspoons sea salt
2 large eggs
1/2 cup canola oil or extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons water
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Lightly spray an 8×8 baking dish with cooking spray and line it with parchment paper. Spray the parchment paper again for easy removal.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the sugar, flour, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, chocolate chips, and salt. Mix well.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil, water, and vanilla until smooth.
4. Sprinkle the dry mix over the wet mix and stir until just combined. The batter will be very thick.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and use a spatula to smooth the top.
6. Bake for 40 to 48 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with only a few moist crumbs attached. Pull them out early rather than late!
7. Cool completely (about 2 hours) before slicing to allow them to set.
Notes
Sugar reduction: You can use 1 cup of sugar instead of 1.5 cups for a less sweet brownie.
Oil choice: Olive oil adds a lovely depth but will be subtlely tasted. Use canola for a neutral flavor.
Cooling is key: These brownies are very fudgy and need time to set up or they will be too gooey to slice.
