Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 and 1/4 cups (150g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 and 1/4 cups (105g) dutch-processed cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons espresso powder optional
  • 3 sticks (340g) unsalted butter cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 10 ounces 72% bittersweet chocolate finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup (57ml) neutral oil such as canola
  • vegetable
  • or refined coconut oil
  • 2 and 3/4 cups (550g) granulated sugar
  • 5 large eggs
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 and 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips or chocolate chunks

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking powder, and espresso powder.
  3. In a saucepan, melt the butter and chopped bittersweet chocolate over low heat, stirring until smooth.
  4. Remove from heat and mix in the oil and granulated sugar until well combined.
  5. Add the eggs and egg yolks one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  6. Gradually fold in the dry ingredients until just combined, then add the chocolate chips or chunks.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Allow to cool in the pan before slicing into squares and serving.

Notes

For extra fudginess, do not overbake the brownies. Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
