Rich, gooey, and fudgy chocolate brownies with a crisp crackly top and melted chocolate chunks, perfect for satisfying any chocolate craving.

Ingredients

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 chocolate chips or roughly chopped chocolate

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8×12-inch baking pan with cooking oil spray and line with parchment paper; set aside.
  2. Combine melted butter, oil, and sugars together in a medium-sized bowl. Whisk well to combine.
  3. Add the eggs and vanilla; beat until lighter in color (about another minute).
  4. Sift in flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined (do not overbeat to maintain the texture).
  5. Fold in chocolate chips or chopped chocolate.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top evenly.
  7. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the center of the brownies is just set to the touch. If testing with a toothpick, it should come out with a few moist crumbs for fudgy brownies.
  8. Remove and allow to cool to room temperature before slicing into squares.

Notes

  • Use hot melted butter and whisk sugar and butter mixture well for a crackly top.
  • Substitute all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour blend to make gluten-free brownies.
  • Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
  • Microwave individual squares for 10–15 seconds to enjoy warm brownies.
  • Do not overmix or overbake to keep brownies fudgy, not cakey.
  • Try adding nuts or flavored extracts for variations.
