  • Total Time: 0 hours
  • Yield: 16 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 â…“ cup (160g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup (96g) dutch-processed cocoa powder
  • 6 oz unsweetened chocolate, chopped
  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, cubed
  • â…“ cup (66g) vegetable oil
  • 3 cups (594g) granulated sugar, divided in half
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180ºC). Grease a metal 9×9-inch pan with non-stick spray or line it with parchment paper. Note that this batter won’t fit in an 8×8-inch pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, salt, and cocoa powder until well combined.
  3. Melt the chopped unsweetened chocolate, cubed butter, and 1 ½ cups of granulated sugar in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally for about 5 minutes until melted. The mixture will be grainy but should include dissolved sugar.
  4. Using a mixer, blend the remaining 1 ½ cups of granulated sugar with the eggs, egg yolks, and the melted chocolate mixture for 3 minutes until doubled in volume. Remember to set a timer for this step!
  5. Stir in the vegetable oil and vanilla extract, mixing on low speed.
  6. Carefully incorporate the dry ingredients into the mixture at low speed until fully combined. Expect a thick batter.
  7. Pour the brownie batter into the prepped pan and bake for 38-45 minutes.
  8. Once baked, let the brownies set for at least 4 hours before cutting, or overnight for the best texture.
