Ingredients
 
 

  • ¾ cup Vegetable oil or canola oil
  • 1 ½ cups Granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 Egg yolk
  • ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
  • cup Cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon Espresso powder
  • 7.05 oz Dark chocolate or semisweet
  • ¾ cups Flour

Instructions
 

  • Preheat an oven to 180c (350f) and prep a parchment paper-lined 8 by 8-inch baking pan.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add the wet ingredients: sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, egg yolk, salt, espresso powder, and vanilla extract, and sift the cocoa powder. Stir with a whisk until the mixture is combined.
  • Add melted chocolate (melt it in the microwave or on a bain-marie) and mix well with a whisk.
  • Add the flour and mix until just combined. You don’t want to develop the gluten in the flour. This step ensures you have fudgy and moist brownies and not dense and dry brownies.
  • Pour the batter into a parchment paper-lined baking pan and bake in a 180c (350f) preheated oven for about 30 minutes or until the tops of the brownies are crinkly.
  • Allow the brownies to cool for about 1 hour before slicing, so they won't crumble and fall apart. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients. It is important that you use room-temperature ingredients like eggs. This step ensures that your mixture mixes into a homogenous mixture and bakes perfectly.
  • Don’t overmix the batter, you don’t want to develop the gluten in the flour. This step ensures you have fudgy and moist brownies and not dense and dry brownies.
  • Measure your flour correctly! When measuring your flour, avoid scooping it with a measuring cup. Instead, stir the flour with a spoon to create as many air pockets as possible, and spoon it into your measuring cup. Finally, level it with the back of a knife.
  • Add some of your favorite add-ins! Make this recipe your own and add your favorite muffins add-ins: chocolate chips, chopped walnuts, chopped pecans, chocolate chunks, M&M, caramel sauce, white chocolate, kinder, toffee, and more! Be creative!
  • Be patient! I know it’s extremely tempting to eat these brownies as they are pulled out of the oven, but let these brownies cool for at least 20 minutes so they will be firmer and won’t crumble up.
  • Don’t overbake your brownies! To have super fudgy brownies, we like to underbake the brownies a little bit.
  •  Ensure you line your baking pan with parchment paper to prevent the brownies from sticking to the pan.
