Wet Ingredients
- 5 TBSP Unsalted butter, melted
- 1/3 cup Oil (canola or vegetable)
- 2 Large eggs
- 1 Egg yolk
- 1 tsp Pure vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/3 cup White granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup All-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder (Dutch process)
- Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal of the brownies.
- Combine wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, oil, granulated sugar, eggs, egg yolk, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
- Sift and mix dry ingredients: Sift the all-purpose flour and Dutch-process cocoa powder into the wet mixture. Gently fold them in using a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to maintain fudgy texture.
- Pour batter and bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
- Cool and serve: Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, use the parchment overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan. Cut into squares and serve.
Notes
- For extra texture, add chocolate chips or chunks and chopped nuts into the batter before baking.
- Do not overbake; fudgy brownies will have moist crumbs when tested with a toothpick.
- The Dutch-process cocoa powder gives a richer, less acidic flavor—do not substitute with natural cocoa powder unless you adjust leavening accordingly.
- Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or freeze for longer storage.
